Palette Case
INSTALLATION TIPS
Palette was designed to provide maximum performance and compatibility in the smallest possible
space. Because of this, and in accordance with those pesky little laws of physics, it can sometimes be
a little tedious to plug and unplug the various cables into the circuit board at the rear of the case.
Fortunately, there are a couple of things you can do to make the process quicker and easier:
●
With the case completely empty, connect all of your power, link, 5V, 5-pin audio, and 10-pin
MIDI cables to the Palette circuit board first. If you think you might swap out modules in the
future (and, since this is Eurorack, you probably will), then it’s a good idea to connect a few
more power cables to the circuit board than you currently need — that will make it easier to
add additional modules in the future.
●
The circuit board is much more accessible if you first remove the top rail. With the rail
removed, it’s much easier to plug the various connectors into the circuit board. To do this:
1. Remove the two screws (one on each side of the case) that hold the top rail in place.
Make note of the rail’s orientation, and set it aside.
2. Connect all the necessary cables to the circuit board.
3. Slide the rail back into place, and re-insert the screws on either side.
4. Connect the cables to all your modules and screw them into the rails.
