synare sensor assembly manual
Percussive Synthesizer Model MPC
This vintage style synth board will give you all the great sonic possibilities of a true analog system. . Although this circuit is vintage technology compared to the digital synth world, it is still preferred by seasoned professionals for tone versatility, ease of use, and responsiveness to "on the fly" patch changes. Direct control parameters are completely step-less giving you infinite control combinations. Whether its melodic tones, or the sounds of sweeps, pops, blips, you name it...... the Percussive Synthesizer kit will provide you with an endless variety of sounds.

Component mounting :
- When soldering to the PCB, it is only necessary to apply solder to the side of the board opposite to the component being soldered. The holes on the PCB are plated through so the connection will be made on both sides.
- Much time and frustration can be avoided by installing the component families on the circuit board in the order shown in the following photographs.
- To avoid misplacement of a part, pay close attention the silkscreen part designators. Once the part has been soldered, it is very difficult to remove without damage to the board and/or component.

Assembly Steps:
1. Insert and solder all board resistors.
1. Insert and solder all board resistors.
2. Insert and solder the diode (D1) . note: the diode is polarity sensitive. Mount with its band facing in the same direction as shown on the silk screen of the circuit board.
3. Insert and solder all DIP IC sockets, afterwards, install the chips into the sockets or wait until all other parts have been soldered. note: All ICs are polarity sensitive. Mount with the IC's notch facing in the same direction as shown on the silk screen of the circuit board. Installing these components incorrectly can destroy them.

Photo shown does not show sockets installed, but you should use the free sockets provided
4. Insert and solder 78L05 voltage regulator and the 2N3904 transistor. Mount as indicated on the silk
screen of the circuit board.
5. Insert and solder the variable resistor (trim-pot).
6. Insert and solder all of the capacitors and the toggle switch.
