Questions

How big is the TUNING PCB?

It measures 160 × 100 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TUNING use?

27 parts, built around the S1A, S1B and S1M. 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 TUNING KiCad files?

From the Desval27/FormantKO repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is modules/TUNING/TUNING.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TUNING 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).
