Installation Instructions 
The SMK should require between 1 to 2 hours to install. Depending on 
the particular firmware revision, you will either receive a 24 pin ROM (P# 
2532) or a 28 pin ROM (P# 27256). The Source microprocessor board 
has the original 24 pin socket. We've included a 28 pin ROM socket on 
the SMK for future firmware updates. Whichever ROM you receive, plug it 
in the socket with the same number of pins as the IC. 
Also, pay attention to the orientation. If you have any questions, please 
email! The factory update that allowed the sequencer transpose function 
(ROM Version 2.2) is required to allow pitch bend in the SMK. There is a 
slight modification that the SMK requires. The two resistor values have 
been modified: 332k is now 665k and the 110k is now 221k. Since the 
majority of Sources have the transpose update, we do not supply the 10 
K potentiometer. It can be found at local electronic stores. If you want the 
overall pitchbend range to be something other than one octave, there is a 
table of resistors included in this manual to choose any semitone interval 
up to one octave. They are standard 1% resistors and can also be 
located in any decent electronic store. After the main installation 
instructions, follow the calibration instruction in order to set the scaling of 
the oscillators. You will need a 5/8" chassis punch or equivalent hole 
cutting device and a 5/64" drill bit for the installation. 
STEPS 
1) Previous versions of this software (4.08) allowed the reload of tape 
patches. This version will not allow the MIDI kit to load the user's patches. 
2) Open the case and remove the keyboard. 4 woodscrews + 2 screws 
on back for case. 5 screws for the keyboard. 
3) Mount MIDI jacks. If your unit has the separate 1/4" jacks for S-trigger 
in and out, you are in luck. Remove these and use the existing holes for 
the chassis punch. MIDI out should go in the S-TRIG OUT hole. Any 
other location will need to be drilled between the rear panel SOURCE 
logo and the power receptacle, and cleaned (loose metal) before using 
the chassis punch. Be sure to check for wires, etc. behind the area you 
are planning to drill. The flanges of the MIDI jacks should go on the 
outside of the Source to cover any imperfections in the holes. Use a 5/64" 
(.078) drill bit for the four mounting holes. The supplied screws should 
thread right into the aluminum back panel. You may optionally install the 
THRU jack. We added this in 1998 because a small percentage of our 
customers requested it.
