Questions

How big is the VCO PCB?

It measures 42.9 × 100.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the VCO use?

46 parts, built around the TL072 and BC548. 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 VCO KiCad files?

From the theWickedWebDev/Modular-Synth repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is VCO-Voltage-Controlled-Oscillator/VCO.kicad_pcb and its schematic 00_BREAKOUTS/Breakout-AudioJack/AudioJack-Breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the VCO design in my own project?

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