About the VCF PCB

VCF is an open source PCB design by BruteClaw, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 54 × 100 mm, with 48 components from 20 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 17 resistors, 10 capacitors, 8 diodes, 6 connectors, 4 transistors and 1 switch.

It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.

From the project

EuroRack sytle analog synthasizer designs

These are designs for EuroRack compatable synthasizer modules.

Each module is designed as a seperate project in KiCAD Each folder includes a BOM from Mouser.com, the Gerber Files if you just want to have a board printed and a PDF of the schematic.

I have taken insparation from all over the web including Music From Outer Space, Yusynth and Look Mom no Computer. Some designs are outright copies of their schematic with my board layout design.
