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.
  • Clouds: Texture synthesizer.
  • Ears: Contact microphone.
  • Edges: Quad chiptune digital oscillator.
  • Elements: Modal synthesizer.
  • Frames: Keyframer/mixer.
  • Grids: Topographic drum sequencer.
  • Kinks: Utility module - rectifier, analog logic, S&H, noise.
  • Links: Utility module - buffer, mixer.
  • Marbles: Random sampler.
  • Peaks: Dual trigger converter.
  • Plaits: Macro oscillator.
  • Rings: Resonator.
  • Ripples: Liquid 2-pole BP, 2-pole LP and 4-pole LP filter.
  • Shades: Triple attenuverter.
  • Shelves: EQ filter.
  • Stages: Segment generator.
  • Streams: Dual dynamics gate.
  • Tides: Tidal modulator.
  • Veils: Quad VCA.
  • Volts: +5V power module.
  • Warps: Meta-modulator.
  • Yarns: MIDI interface.

Questions

How big is the Kinks v41 PCB?

It measures 19 × 108.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kinks v41 use?

89 parts, built around the OPA4171AID, LM321MF, WP937EGW and MMBT3904. 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 Kinks v41 KiCad files?

From the jonstapleton/mutable_eurorack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kinks/hardware_design/pcb/KiCad/kinks_v41.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Kinks v41 design in my own project?

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