Designs for my homebrew Eurorack synthesizer modules

My Eurorack modular synthesizer designs are shared in this GitHub repository.

Please note that I am a hobbyist, not a trained electronics engineer! These designs are not perfect. The modules work for me, but I can’t promise they’ll work for everyone who builds them.

These designs are shared as open source. See the license details in each project and source file.
