1.2 Welcome to Dino Park! 

Thanks for purchasing the MakeProAudio Dino Park Board / MakeKit / MakeKit EX / MakeKit EXL! 
 
The greatest pleasures are simple pleasures. A hardware synth like Dino Park is instant-on and instantly 
gratifying. Totally dependable and extremely easy to use, it turns any USB MIDI Keyboard into a sound 
monster. Combined with the power and  lexibility of so tware, Dino Park o fers the best of both worlds! 
 
You may have wondered about the “Dino Park” name?  Here is how the name came about. We are huge fans of 
the LEGO System* and Dino Park is a name which would fit the LEGO* universe. The theme you will be guessing 
already - in Dino Park, you meet the legends - the dinosaurs of analog synthesis! 
 
Please understand that this Quick Start Guide only serves as a quick introduction to the general use of Dino 
Park.. More  guides and resources are available on

Once on the main support page, navigate to the Dino Park support pages.

detailed assembly instructions 

user manuals for the individual synthesizer models

MIDI implementation tables
