Important Instructions – PLEASE READ
Read Instructions:
Please read the Foundation 3.1 Synthesizer manual completely before use and retain for future reference.
IMPORTANT Ribbon Cable Power Information:
The Foundation 3.1 combines a set of individual modules to create a complete instrument. The individual modules can be
rearranged, removed, and replaced with any compatible eurorack modules from Pittsburgh Modular and other manufacturers.
The Foundation 3.1 uses a standard eurorack power rail to connect the modules to the internal b/-12v power supply.
Please pay very close attention to the orientation of the ribbon cable when adding and removing modules. The stripe on the ribbon cable marks -12v. This
stripe needs to line up with the -12v pins on the power rail and the -12v pins on the module.
Failure to match up the pins correctly can result in damage to
one or all the modules in the Foundation.
On the
power rail, the -12v pins are clearly labeled. On the individual modules, the positive and negative sides of
the pin connectors are labeled next to the power header on either the top or bottom of the PCB.
Do
NOT
remove individual modules from the Foundation while synthesizer is plugged in.
Do
NOT
unplug ribbon cables from the Foundation or individual modules while the Foundation is plugged in.
