USBtribe - permanent installation instructions

step one

First take your DINtribe board and place it on a flat surface. With the board orientated as shown in the photo; the connections are 1 to 5 from left to right, on the black terminal block

step two

Insert the brown wire of the MIDI IN cable into the 3rd round hole. Insert the supplied screwdriver into the rectangular slot above the round hole. Press the screwdriver into the slot to open the terminal and the brown wire will slide into place. Remove the screwdriver from the slot and the wire will now be firmly held in place. Repeat this procedure for the orange wire, in the 4th hole.

step three

Repeat the process for the MIDI OUT cable. The brown wire in the 1st hole, the orange wire in the 2nd hole and the screen wire in the 5th hole.

step four

Now take one Monotribe synthesizer.

step five

Flip it over and carefully remove the rubber feet and the screws underneath them.

step six

Stand the monotribe up, with the power switch on top and the base facing toward you. Rotate the base of the box downwards, as if there were a hinge along the bottom edge of the Monotribe.

step seven

Take the long, 4 way cable, that came with the DINtribe and connect it to the Monotribe connector marked SERIAL, located on the left side of the Monotribe board.

step eight

Position the DINtribe in the lower right corner. The MIDI cables should point straight up, under the right hand side of the upper board, toward the top right corner. Connect the other end of the 4 way cable to the DINtribe board.

step nine

Now we need to make a small, semi-circular opening, in the wall of the base, to pass the MIDI cables through. It's easier if you disconnect the base from the main body. You'll need a round file, of similar diameter to the MIDI cables. With the base oriented as shown in the photo, carefully file the opening in the lower right corner, on the horizontal edge, close to the screw pillar. File a little at a time, regularly checking the size against the cable.
