Modular Synth Panels

Hi Again,

A zig-zag pattern for the pots would be great but you can`t use pcb mount
pots so lots of wiring is required.
Also You`ll  miss the gate buss or a complete pot row. pot spacing in milton
PCb is .8" and the separation between vertical rows must be at least 1".

Best regards,

Josue.
