Modular Synth Panels

That looks great to me.
I'll try to get a move on it next week if everything is OK'd. I don't 
think I'll have a chance to check anything, so this and the MFOS seq 
design will be officially and completely ripped off.
: )

I love the oval layout. Just out of cusiosity, how did you cipher that? 
Math or some FPE magic?

$200... I think if I order 20 of these, I can get an 8U price around... 
$70. Total guess, but it should be close.
It's like free hardware : )
