 A DIN module is used to connect buttons and encoders to the Midibox. The Name comes from "​Digital Input" and means that the module can detect two states: ON or OFF. A DIN module is used to connect buttons and encoders to the Midibox.

 If the first input pin of the first shift register (74HC165) triggers all 128 Notes at once, there is propably a problem with the Shift or Register Clock line (SC/RC signal). Both signals are driven by the core module, and they are connected to all shift registers in order to scan the chain. If these signals are not connected, or if there is a short, the core will always "​see"​ the first digital pin, and never the remaining pins of the chain. If the first input pin of the first shift register (74HC165) triggers all 128 Notes at once, there is propably a problem with the Shift or Register Clock line (SC/RC signal).
