CS30L MIDI Kit Installation Manual
Installation
The CS Midi board is installed between the keyboard and the
key assigner board and therefore requires only 3 cables to solder (Power).
Removal of the key assigner is not required. Although we suggest
calibrating the synth before install, recalibration after install is not
required.
For filter and envelope trigger you will need to solder the appropriate cables.
Midi connectors will require drilling using the drill template/sticker.
Open the CS30L.
Make sure to disconnect synth from mains before proceeding with installation!
Follow the step by step instructions in the following pages to install your
CS MIDIKIT.

MIDI connectors installation
Start by drilling and mounting the midi connectors using the midi sticker as a tem-
plate, place the sticker in the desired location and fasten at the top with tape and
mark the center X’s. Next lift up the sticker while the tape holds it in place and drill
the holes for the midi connectors.
Place the midi connectors in the slots and mark where to drill for the screws., after
drilling remove the backing from the sticker and fasten it in place. Cut out the holes
in the sticker, an 8 cut “pizza” cut works great. Place midi connectors and fasten
with screws. See images below. (Alternatively you can print out and use the MIDI
template on the last page).
NOTE: MIDI In connector has two wires and MIDI Out has three.
Place the midi kit as shown in image below. Fasten the board using the plastic
standoffs.

Solder the power cables
Locate the SSK/Key Assigner board (Left board, bottom of synth) and identify the
3 points shown in image. Using the 3 Wire (Red, Blue, Black) power cable, solder
each wire to the appropriate location.
NEG/BLUE is the -15V.
POS/RED is the +15V.
GND/BLACK is the ground cable.
NOTE: See CS30L schematics on the next page.
