Questions

How big is the Vca adsr PCB?

It measures 65 × 75 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Vca adsr use?

84 parts, built around the TL072. 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 Vca adsr KiCad files?

From the polykit/vca-adsr repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is vca-adsr.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Vca adsr design in my own project?

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