Bread Modular

An open-source hardware modular synthesizer format designed to be minimalistic and cost-effective: USB-powered, breadboard-friendly, with analog/digital modules and MIDI alongside CV & Gate.

Find your starting point

KiCad quick start

sh
python3 -B opt/kicad-tools/kicad_tools.py --help
python3 -B opt/kicad-tools/kicad_tools.py doctor
python3 -B opt/kicad-tools/kicad_tools.py export --help

Python + installed KiCad CLI; no extra packages for core tools. Private checks, Gerber/BOM/CPL export, native netlist helpers and read-only sourcing have distinct requirements and safety boundaries. Exports are not electrical/release/order approval; keep frozen module scripts and production designs untouched. Historical opt/kicad-jlcpcb and .agents/skills/{kicad-workflow,jlcpcb-assembly} resolve through relative compatibility symlinks.

Agents: start with the KiCad workflow skill or assembly skill, then actual CLI help.

Project image and full feature overview

Bread Modular

  • Modular design: Just like Eurorack.
  • USB-powered: It can be portable.
  • Minimal design: Cost-effective.
  • Modular MIDI support: Communicate between modules; CV & Gate still supported.
  • Analog and digital signal paths: It’s your choice.
  • Diverse built-in modules: A wide range of pre-designed modules.
  • Configurable digital modules: Voice and CV using AtTiny 1616 or ESP32.
  • Fully open source: Schematics, PCB designs and code.
  • Ease of customization: Create modules tailored to your needs.
  • No case required: Use directly on a breadboard or a simple base module.

Questions

How big is the HCPL-063L PCB?

It measures 14.2 × 11.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the HCPL-063L use?

3 parts, built around the HCPL-063L. 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 HCPL-063L KiCad files?

From the bread-modular/bread-modular repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is opt/Breakouts/HCPL-063L/HCPL-063L.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the HCPL-063L 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).
