Mutable Instruments' Eurorack Modules.

Forked from pichenettes' version and identical except:

  • Eagle brd and sch files converted to XML (making possible import into KiCad)
  • For some modules, KiCad versions have been added

I have updated this repo to reflect upstream changes, but I am no longer able to convert the Eagle files, so not all are available as XML.

  • Blades: Dual multimode filter.
  • Blinds: Quad VC-polarizer.
  • Braids: Macro-oscillator.
  • Branches: Dual Bernoulli gate.

  • Ears: Contact microphone.
  • Edges: Quad chiptune digital oscillator.
  • Elements: Modal synthesizer.
  • Frames: Keyframer/mixer.

Questions

How big is the Frames v03 PCB?

It measures 88.9 × 101.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Frames v03 use?

165 parts, built around the STM32F103CBT6, LM1117-3.3, LM4040B25FTA and WP710A10GD. 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 Frames v03 KiCad files?

From the jonstapleton/mutable_eurorack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is frames/hardware_design/pcb/KiCad/frames_v03.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Frames v03 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jonstapleton before reusing the design.
