Now let's place the 

module in your system 

and test it. Plug in the 

power cable and make 

sure the red side 

matches the -12V on 

the PCB. We recom-

mend you to start the 

module in Full calibra-

tion mode. To do so, 

hold the CNFG button 

pressed whil powering 

on the module.The 

SYNC LED should 

start to blink. If so 

continue to the next 

chapter. If the LED is 

not responding, turn 

your system off and 

on again to re-start the 

module in normal mode. Press the mode button and the first mode LED 

should blink or be on. If no LED is on or blinking, the module is probably not 

powering up. You might re-check the power cable orientation, the orientation 

of all the LEDs, electrolytic capacitors and the Tactical Plan. If everything is 

correctly oriented, double check all your solder points.

8. Powering

Your module has a blinking SYNC LED ? So, it’s in Full calibration mode. This 

mode consists ot two chained calibration procedure: the Time potentiometer 

calibration and the CV inputs calibration. Before starting the procedure, make 

sure that no cable is plugged in the Aeolus Seeds. 

First, you have to set the Time potentiometer to every blank spot of the front 

panel print around the potentiometer, and press the Sync button once. So, 

adjust the Time potentiometer on the empty spot between the x3 and x2 zones 

of the left side and press the SYNC button. Then, adjust the potentiometer on 

the empty spot between the x2 and x1 zones, and press the SYNC button again.
