Issues: please wait with ordering parts or have a look at the ISSUE lists below for changes!!
the part number for the trimmer at mouser isn't correct (more information is in the "Issue" list)
The case and panel are included with the kit.
"additional parts include:
ENCLOSURE PANEL
RACK EARS
DISPLAY LENS
Sliders
Noise IC
ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE:
SCREWS, NUTS, BRACKETS, STANDOFFS, POTENTIOMETERS and the CENTER DETENT SLIDER
(Motherboards have all DACS, CPU, audio CODEC, and headphone amp already mounted on them).

30 Aug. 2022 | BOM - Voices | ERROR | Mouser part number for the trimmer is invalid | Line 180: 652-3296X-1-103RLF | BOM update needed | -- | |
30. Aug 2022 | BOM - Mainboard | INFO | the 220uF caps on the Mainboard are BI-POLAR - | respect the BOM partnumber | |||
07 Sep. 2022 | Hardware Board | BUG | there's no Pinout described on the Hardware Board for the OLED - | please read the INFO section in the next table on installing the OLED carefully | can be improved with better silkscreen information | 1.0 | |
13 Sep. 2022 | BOM: Voices | INFO | the Mouser BOM shows 32x 240pF C0G capacitors for the Voices - used in the OTA Filter. These are 10% tolerance. | you can change the capacitors to Polypropylene, Silver MICA, Styrene - with 1-2.5% or match good capacitors in this range with an LCR meter (check the data sheets of the meter) | - | - | - |
13.Sep | create a Silkscreen for MTA156 Powerheader pinout | 1.0 | |||||

Date | Location | Type | Issue | Tip |
---|---|---|---|---|
13. Aug.2022 | Hardware Board | INFO | minimize Slider/Potentiometer malfunctions Soldering Info | when you install the sliders, DO NOT solder all pins successively, solder only one pin at the top and the bottom and proceed to the next slider, when you have installed all of them - solder the next single pin of each slider. this has to be respected with potentiometers too. The Sliders and Potentiometers have lubrication inside which is sensitive to heat and can be easily damaged (this happened on many Syncussion clones ) |
13. Aug.2022 | Hardware Board | INFO | OLED Selection and R101/R32 - R100/R102 | when you have an OLED with the PINOUT: VCC-GND-SCL-SDA install R100 and R102 (0 Ohm - a bridge) (R32/R101 must be left empty) in case you have an OLED with the PINOUT: GND-VCC-SCL-SDA install R101 and R32 (0 Ohm -a bridge) |
13. Aug. 2022 | All pcbs | INFO | some IC Sockets do not point in the same direction as the others, it´s a known issue that people install ICs backwards | Double and triple check every IC orientation - maybe 80% of all device malfunctions happen because of that and often end in very expensive repairs |
13. Aug.2022 | Hardware Board, PSU, Mainboard | INFO | the LEDs do not work | when you build the device - its important to start with the power supply - here you can test the LED orientation. never trust the vendor pinout for LEDs. normally the long LED leg is the positive end (anode) (but some circuits are powered from negative rails and GND is the positive end in this case- just as an explanation) |
13. Aug. 2022 | Mainboard | INFO | solder the pins on the Edgecard holder where you find the white stripe on the PCB - | you can't install the edge cards in the wrong way |
Mainboard | INFO | keep the length of the power cable as short as possible - that minimizes the risk that you accidentally put the PSU card in a voice card slot | ||
Hardware Board | INFO | pay attention to "Pot23 - Volume" (upper right corner) this is the one non-center detent pot. | ||
14.Aug.2022 | Mainboard | BUG | BOM1.0 Change- fixed in BOM v1.1 R103, R104, R105 = 330K (was 30k in BOM rev 1.0) R128, R143 = 10K (was 30k in BOM rev1.0) R137, R146 = 10K. (was 20k in BOM rev1.0) |
Short guide:
Power supply PCB (PSUb) - check the LED orientation and make a note for the Hardware Board
Breakoutboard (BB)
Mainboard (MB) - do not install the headers/pins - check the soldering on the EDGE card pins !!
Hardware Board (HB) - do not install the headers /pins, LEDs yet, no sliders , no potentiometer
wash the PCBs !
assemble the voices until the other pcbs are dry - do not install the trimmer until you have washed the PCBs!
install the sliders on the Hardware Board, the potentiometer must be installed with the front panel attached for best alignment
install the spacers (12mm spacer between HB and MB) put the MB on the HB - then solder the headers on the pcbs
mount the bracket on the BB pcbs with 2 screws.
testing
Test the PSU without BB - on a bench psu with current limiter 200mA

Instructions for Flashing
• Connect STM LINK to the Motherboard
• Turn ISENIN on
• Open STM Cube Programmer
• Select ST-Link, select connect
• Select erasing and programming button
• Browse select ISENIN CM4 Start programming
• Repeat the procedure described above and select ISENIN CM7 - Start programming
• Disconnect and restart ISE-NIN
Instructions for Calibrating
• First, put all CENTER DETENT pot / sliders at center,
• Go into MENU, CALIBRATION, SLIDER POT CALIBRATION, run
• (after 30 min of warmup), go to the MENU, CALIBRATION, VCO CALIBRATION, run.
• MENU, CALIBRATION, RESONANCE. Follow this from the Jupiter 8 manual, turning Trim1 for each voice (or see below):
or turn Trim TR1 until the self oscillation is off on each voice.
you can switch between the cards using the switch button on the mother board.
• MENU, FILTER, CALIBRATION, run
• MENU, CALIBRATION, CROSS MOD TRIM, connect USB out of ISENIN to computer, turn on ableton select ise-nin as input, put a tuner oh the channel and adjust it to 220hz for each voice, switch between voices with the switch button.
• MENU, CALIBRATION, CROSS MOD CALIBRATION, run
