Here's a panel I did for the Mattson VCF a while back...for Alpha pots and 16PJ012 (or similar) jacks.

I think I used the little Java app on the Schaeffer web site to generate the scales.

A modular synthesizer is not a musical instrument; it is a spiritual ham radio.
Eurorack is the sprinkles on the 5U donut.

Hmmm... been dabbling in Electronic music & DJing for 25+ years. Collector & curator of a fairly large vintage recording studio. Ran a couple record labels featuring DJ ESP, Hakan Lidbo, Jacob London, Martin Venetjoki, Vitamin D, Chris Anderson, etc. and licensed to greats like Carl Cox, Dave Angel, Chris Simmonds, etc. Oh yeah, I'm also a builder of D.I.Y. electronics junk, including a mighty fine modular synth.

Re: Frac format FPD files for DIY
Does anyone have a Frac format .fpd of the Living VCOs? I managed to get hold of a PCB, it would be good to get some layout ideas before starting to build up the PCB.

Re: Frac format FPD files for DIY
No, but these old pics might help with inspiration.
I'm in the same boat.
Re: Frac format FPD files for DIY
found this on my backups of the modularpanels yahoo group files.
seems its for euro but with a little FPD copying and pasting that can be sorted.
Also it seems a lot of things were in Cyrilic (!) and I had changed them back into English saving over the original
anyway here it is perhaps it will be of use...
Also sorry if that is not the file for the living vcos but i think it is...

Re: Frac format FPD files for DIY
Thanks guys that's very useful 

Re: Frac format FPD files for DIY
Speaking of panels....
Does anyone have FPDs or any kind of panel design really for
1FU Blacet Window Comparator
1FU Blacet Mixer/Processor
I know that John Blacet at some point shared a "CAD pdf" for one of the two...

Re: Frac format FPD files for DIY
I have done 1FU: Window Comparator, Mixer Processor, I/O, and Mini-Wave.
No FPD (all made by hand).
I can take fresh pics if you can't find old ones on here.
Re: Frac format FPD files for DIY
In general the hole pitches should follow the typical measurements on the example typical panel that is on the Blacet Tech Corner page - so 0.75in/19.05mm between centers vertically.
The not so easy bit is where there are extras on the panel, like the LEDs on the WC, and the offset between pots/jacks.

Re: Frac format FPD files for DIY
I think the Mixer / Processor could be approached like that. thanks for the idea.
im getting a small digital caliper soon and i will go over it as well (to get the led holes right as well) and try to knock something up
The WC being not so standard is over my head for the time being
so I will let it be fabulous on its spacious 2FU space as it has been up to now
