DIY Build Instructions – PLITKA BTN MASHR
(ARCADE BUTTON MANUAL TRIGGER/GATE)
First of, thank you for your purchase of the PLITKA BTN MASHR DIY Kit. If you are a DIY Synth novice, you have selected a great module
to advance your skills. It is not as simple a circuit as the DISPRS or DIOD OR, but still very doable. If you are a veteran (or, as we like to
say at Tsyklon Labs - “Hero of Synthesizer DIY”), then this kit will be super fun.
First, let's make sure that you have everything on hand before we heat up the iron. The tools you will need are as follows:
- Soldering Iron and Solder
- Wire Cutters
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Knurled Nut Tool (Xicon 382-0006) or Small Pliers for tightening 3.5mm knurled nuts
- Wire Strippers that can strip the wire that you have chosen below.
- Wire of your choosing - Solid 24awg or 22awg works well
You will need the following parts to fnish your build:
