This is my second time building a Baby-8 step CV sequencer since my plexiglass Baby-8 build from two years ago. This, time I added a gate output, a reset input, and a step length control.

Questions
How big is the MiniSeq PCB?
It measures 170 × 128.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MiniSeq use?
99 parts, built around the TL072, L7809CD2T-TR and BC547. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the MiniSeq KiCad files?
From the benjiaomodular/MiniSeq repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/circuit/MiniSeq/MiniSeq.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/circuit/MiniSeq/MiniSeq.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MiniSeq design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
