About the Oneshot PCB
Oneshot is an open source PCB design by tpcarlson, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 141.9 × 39.7 mm, with 136 components from 38 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TL072, ONESHOT, LM1117DT-5.0 and LM358. By type, the board carries 42 resistors, 29 capacitors, 27 connectors, 17 diodes, 9 ICs and 2 inductors.
It belongs with the audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
Mostly Eurorack projects
Oneshot is a kind of envelope generator, with a built-in mixer for adding other CV signals to the output or for chaining together Oneshot modules.
Oneshot's brains are on one PCB, with the front PCB offering options for 1U and 3U. The 3U design is my favourite, with a large arcade button and good knob spacing. The 1U design files are also included, if you wish to try them out too.
