From the project
Eurorack MIDI interface supporting USB and serial MIDI. Based on ARM STM32F446 MCU.
MidiMonger is a Eurorack MIDI interface supporting USB and serial MIDI.
MIDI Monger is a configurable MIDI interface for controlling Eurorack modules from either USB MIDI or Serial MIDI (or both simultaneously). MidiMonger 2 adds support for USB host functionality allowing the use of USB MIDI controllers (and experimentally USB HID mice) to control Eurorack modules.

MidiMonger components: common questions
What microcontroller does the MidiMonger components use?
The MidiMonger components is built around the STM32F446RETx, from the STM32 family.
How big is the MidiMonger components PCB?
The MidiMonger components measures 40 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MidiMonger components?
64 components, from 28 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the MidiMonger components design files?
From the dchwebb/MidiMonger repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the MidiMonger components design in my own project?
