Plans for my modular synthesizer
Fill in the "Design" columns before building; fill in the "As-Built" columns after assembly and bench testing.
No .net file exists for this module yet, so the input/output rows below aren't populated from the schematic. Generate the netlist in KiCad (File > Fabrication Outputs > Netlist, or the equivalent export) and I can fill in the Ref / Label columns from it — or list the jacks here yourself.
