❏ Connect the 16 core flat cable leading to the control board and the three 10 core flat
cables leading to the potentiometer boards. The 16 pin connector cannot be plugged in in a
wrong way due to the „nose“ on the connector. The red cores of the three 10 core flat cables
have to point to the front panel if the red cores at the potentiometer boards point to the
bottom (in case that the red cores at the potentiometer boards point to the top the red cores
at the basic board have to point to the rear panel)
❏ If you want to install CV/Gate board (the MAQ V3.0 works without this board as well) you
have to drill 6 holes into the rear panel for the 6 CV/Gate miniature jack sockets (8...8.5 mm
diameter, 12.7 mm distance) The holes should be drilled in the same distance from the
bottom as the hole for the 9V DC power supply socket. The distance between the first hole
and the power supply hole should be about 110 mm so that the analog board does not
overlap with the basic board.
❏ Mount the analog board using the 6 jack sockets at the rear panel. Connect the analog
board to the basic board using the 10 core flat cable (the two boards are delivered ready
connected). The red core has to point at the basic board to the front panel and at the analog
board to the right (view from the front), i.e. the red core has to point to the 2 voltage
regulators at the analog board (looking like transistors).
❏ Close the case (rear panel with 6 screws, top cover with 4 screws) and connect the power
supply, MIDI and CV/Gate if desired. We reccomend to initialize the MAQ16/3 after the
installation of the new basic board (for details see „Preset menu“).
❏ If you want to readjust the scale of the 3 CV voltages you may find 3 trimming
potentiometers on the analog board for the adjustment of the CV voltage scales. Pay
attention that there is an offset of about 250...300 mV at the CV outputs (i.e. 0.25 ... 5.25V
range for 5 octaves)
