===Connect Controller Dupont Wires to the Main Ribbon Bus===

====Controller Module 4-pin Dupont Wires (x 4)====
Take the 4 x 20 cm Dupont Connector Wires:
Take the 4 x "20cm 4-pin Dupont Connector Wires". These are used to connect the 4 controller modules to the RBPi GPIO:
'''PHOTO NEEDED HERE!!'''
You have to connect it to the middle male connector of the Ribbon Bus Cable following the next scheme:

'''Note:''' The red wire of the Main Ribbon Bus must be in the left. This wire is ALWAYS the number 1!
====2in1 Module 6-pin Dupont Wire=====
Next, you take the "10cm 6-pin Dupont Connector Wire". This is used to connect the 2in1 module to the RBPi GPIO:

You have to connect it to the middle male connector of the Ribbon Bus Cable following the next scheme:

===Connect the Controller Modules (x4)===
This step is a bit tricky. Remember that, if you followed the instructions before, you have soldered the pin-rows in the bottom side of PCBs, so numbering is reversed when looking from bottom. You can use a little trick: if you rotate the PCB 180º, then numbering is "left to right" again ;-)

'''Warning:''' In this photo the controller modules wiring is reversed (1 by 2, 3 by 4). I will change it ASAP ;-)

===Connect the 2in1 Module===
=== 2in1 ===
The 2in1-PCB must be connected using one of the mini ribbon cables. The 6-pin connector must be located towards the PCB. Pin 1 is on the bottom left (component side up). On the other end of the cable there are 1-pin female connectors. They must be connected to the following pins on the (male) 40-pin-conenctor in the middle of the main ribbon cable.

Next connect the DIN socket (MIDI) to the 2in1-PCB. The connector on the PCB is the 2-pin one located in the upper right corner of the PCB.
