Warranty • • • • • • • • • • • Applying any negative voltage (< 0V) or positive voltage above +5V (> +5V) to one of the 16 analog inputs (JP1, JP2) will destroy the circuit ! If potentiometers and/or switches are connected between GND and +5V of PE as described in this manual no problems will occur.
Introduction • • • • • • • • • • • PE is an universal electronics DIY kit to built your own Midi control box. Up to 16 controls can be connected to PE transmitting 16 different Midi messages on different (or even the same) Midi channels. The most important messages are probably the Midi Control Change messages – often simply called "Midi controllers". In the following we are sometimes talking about Midi controllers though other Midi messages are possible.
Connection and Installation Please pay attention to the following notes ! Electronic basic knowledge is required to install the PE electronics and to connect the controls resp. control voltages. If you are not sure whether your knowledge is sufficient please consult an expert. We cannot take back modules that became defective because of wrong installation or wrong connection of the controls or voltages. We also cannot take back modules or cables which have been soldered by the user.
Overview: Pocket Electronic Connectors (4) connectors for the potentiometers resp.
Midi In Socket (3) The PE features a Midi input. This input may be connected to another Midi device (e.g. Midi keyboard). The incoming Midi data are merged to the data generated by PE. The Midi input may be used as well for daisy-chaining several PE. The Midi input of PE is not suitable for large amounts of Midi data (e.g. SysEx strings or Midi messages coming from an computer sequencer) as the PE has only a small Midi in buffer.
10 pin female connector with ribbon cable 10 pin female connector with ribbon cable Rotary or slider potentiometers are connected in this way: • • • lower resp. left end terminal to GND wiper / middle terminal to one of the analog inputs 1 ... 16 upper resp.
Linear potentiometers with resistance values 4k7 ... 100k can be used. We recommend 10k (linear). Momentary or toggle switches can be used in two different ways: version 1 version 2 state of rest Midi data voltage 0 0V 127 +5V aktive state Midi data voltage 127 +5V 0 0V Simple momentary switches (1 contact, open at rest) or simple toggle switches (1 contact on/off) are required.
Connector for snapshot button and LED (5) PE has two simple controls available: a so-called snapshot button and a LED. If the user wants to have available these controls they are connected to the pin header ST1 in this way: The button is a simple momentary switch (open at rest) and any standard LED can be used (3 or 5 mm or rectangle, red/yellow/green/blue/white color). Pay attention to the polarity of the LED.
Mounting Before PE is put into operation the board has to be fixed on a suitable support and built into a metal case together with the controls (refer to EMC notes on page 2). The metal case has to be connected to GND of PE. We recommend to use the metal plate of the voltage regulator 7805/IC6 or the GND terminal of the power supply socket for this connection. The board measures about 80 x 56 x 25 mm. Five mounting holes with 3 mm diameter are available for mounting the board inside the case e.g.
Controls and Operation Apart from the 16 potentiometers and/or switches that are connected to JP1 and JP2 PE has these controls available: • • • momentary switch/button (connected to ST1, please refer to page 10) LED (connected to ST1, please refer to page 10) 8 pin DIP switch (please refer to page 10) Functions of the LED After power on the LED will stay lit for around one second when the power is first applied to the PE . If this does not happen probably the power supply used is not suitable (i.e.
The Midi master channel is used to select which channel the PE will transmit on when using relevant presets (i.e. presets using the master channel). Some presets (such as the MIDI volume - preset 0) has each input on a different channel, whilst other presets have all inputs on the same channel, it is on these presets that the Master channel is used. The master channel is also the channel which the PE will receive program change data on.

Check list In case that your PE installation does not work at the first go please check the following points: • Is the power supply working correctly ? Provided that a LED is connected to ST1 (pay attention to the polarity) it should light up for a short time and then go out.

Appendix 2: Creating your own presets New presets can be created or present ones can be altered, though it is recommended to dump all new presets into free locations 77 ~ 127. Every input of the PE can be assigned with three 7-bit parameters (between 0 and 127), these parameters define the Midi event transmitted by the inputs. Each preset can be dumped into the PE by a System Exclusive message.
00 ~ 10 00 ~ 7F 00 ~ 7F F7 Parameter 1. There are 16 data bytes setting the MIDI channel of each knob, a setting of 0 sets the knob to the Master Channel. Parameter 2. There are 16 data bytes setting the event type for each knob, a setting of 7F defines “No Event” to the knob Parameter 3. There are 16 data bytes setting the additioanl event data for each knob. The definition of parameter 3 depends on what parameter 2 is set to.
