This is a collection of notes and resources for building a Eurorack synth. I'm not an expert, but I'm learning as I go and I'm happy to share what I've learned.

(First version with 3D printed panels, I'm still missing knobs)

I am not responsible for any damage to any of your modules. The modules within this repository have been tested and built by myself and used only with the other modules in this system.
