Constructors should refer to the Component Overlays along with,
the Bill of Materials for the current value of all components, and
the General Construction Notes for general PCB assembly guidelines.

  1. Assemble the 3x Jack Carrier Boards
  2. Assemble the 1x Switch Carrier Board
  3. Assemble ES16 Column 1 PCB
  4. Assemble the Column 2 PCB except for the 2x jack sub-assemblies
  5. Mount the 2x sub-assemblies but do not solder
  6. Offer the assembly up to the front panel securing the jacks with the supplied nuts
  7. Solder the 2x sub-assemblies in place and then remove the complete assembly
  8. Mount all components to the ES16 Column 3 PCB except for the 2x carrier sub-assemblies and the LED
  9. Mount the 2x sub-assemblies but do not solder
  10. Offer the assembly up to the front panel securing using the supplied nuts and washers
  11. Check that the body of the switch toggle action is vertical and solder in to place along with the jack sub-assembly
  12. Mount the LED and solder in to place
  13. Mount all components on to the ES16 PCB
  14. Mount the assemblies on to the front panel and then fit the main board ensuring that the IDC sockets are correctly aligned

Notes

C201 on the Main PCB and C102 on the Column 3 PCB are optional and should initially be omitted. They should only be fitted if you observe any instability in the envelope output

Options

There are 2 jumpers on the main board that allow the user to define the 'operational direction' of the [DELAY], [ATTACK], [DECAY] and [RELEASE] pots:-

  1. The 'regular' EuroRack approach is for the minimum pot position to be equivalent to the shortest time period for the rise/fall slope. For this option set Vmax - JP1 to +12V and Vmin - JP2 to 0V
  2. The Serge approach is for the minimum position to be equivalent to the maximum time period for the rise/fall slope. For this option set Vmax - JP1 to 0V and Vmin - JP2 to +12V
