Korg Monotron Eurorack Mod

What

The idea is to make a eurorack module out of the Korg Monotron synthesizer. The Monotron synths are extremely hackable, Korg released the schematics and a lot of people have published mods. I have the original Monotron.

Todo

• Remove battery terminals from PCB
• Design and build a board with the desired in- and outputs, probably on protoboard (called I/O board from this point on)
• Build a simple board for powering the module (called power board from this point on)
• Design and build a faceplate
• Assemble everything together and put it in a eurorack case
