SKM Version 2: SK-5 Installation Instructions

Step 1: Assemble the SKM circuit board.

See the illustrated assembly notes. Set position #5 on the DIP switch to "ON".

Step 2: Attach the hook-up wires.

Attach a 15" length of wire to each of the following pads on the SKM circuit board:

MIDI "4" and "5"
"+5V" and "GND"
"TO KEYBOARD" pads 1-12
"AUX SCAN" pads 3, 4

Step 3: Disconnect power from the SK-5.

Disconnect any external power cords and remove any batteries from the SK-5. After disconnection, move the SK-5 "mode" switch to the "play" position to drain any stored charges.

Step 4: Remove the internal speaker from the SK-5.

Open the SK-5's case and remove the speaker. Set aside the speaker mounting hardware for re-use.

Step 5: Mount the MIDI jack on the SK-5.

The MIDI jack requires one 5/8" hole and two 3/32" holes as shown. Be careful not to damage the SK-5's internal parts when creating the holes.

Use two of the speaker mounting screws to secure the jack.

Step 6: Mount the SKM circuit board.

Use the speaker mounting hardware to secure the SKM circuit board. Tighten the screws just enough to secure the SKM circuit board.

Step 7: Connect the MIDI jack to the SKM.

Note the numbering of pins on the MIDI jack.

Connect pin 4 on the MIDI jack to the pad marked "M4" on the SKM circuit board. Connect pin 5 on the MIDI jack to the pad marked "M5" on the SKM circuit board.

Step 8: Connect the SKM power lines to the SK-5.

Connect the "GND" and "+5V" pads on the SKM circuit board to the SK-5 main board as shown.

Step 9: Connect the SKM keyboard control lines to the SK-5.

Locate the 12-conductor ribbon cable that connects the SK-5 keys to the SK-5 main board. The conductors are numbered 1 to 12. Connect each of the "TO KEYBOARD" pads on the SKM circuit board to the corresponding conductor of the ribbon cable.

In this example, the wires are routed underneath the SK-5 main board to meet with the ribbon cable.

Step 10: Connect the SKM "AUX SCAN" control lines to the SK-5.

Locate the 25-conductor ribbon cable that connects the SK-5 buttons to the SK-5 main board. The conductors are numbered 1 to 25. Connect each of the "AUX SCAN" pads on the SKM circuit board to the following conductors of the ribbon cable:

SKM "AUX SCAN"	SK-5 25-Pin Ribbon
1	Not Connected
2	Not Connected
3	10
4	4
5	Not Connected
6	Not Connected

Installation Complete

Connect your SK-5 to the "MIDI OUT" port on any MIDI sequencer or MIDI controller.
