The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
General Warnings
1. Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the product manual). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage your module or system. Make sure the module is connected with correct polarity.
2. Heat Generation:
• The module may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case to prevent overheating.
3. Sharp Edges:

Why Magpie?
One day I came into the kitchen; face covered in the
grime of aluminum polishing to show off the custom shiny Tides panel I
was working on. My flatmate at the time, Dave Tipper, teased that I
looked like a filthy magpie hoarding all the shiny bits of modular gear.
For some reason it stuck and we decided to roll with the name because
it was just too good and unfortunately very true.
In the course of studying these birds I kind of fell in love - they are considered not only the smartest of birds but also among the most intelligent of any animals. They seem to hand select the sounds they sample and mimic in the same way they select oddities for their hoarde. In fact when you hear a magpie walking around doing a near perfect mimicry of a giggling baby you can begin to understand why there is so much uneasy superstition in the UK around these animals.
It is a common UK superstition to salute a single magpie, say "Hello mr magpie hows the wife and kids?", because a lone magpie is considered a bad omen. This is possibly owing to the fact that magpies mate for life and have been observed holding funeral rites for dead comrades.
