Not trying to open a can of worms here, but if there is sufficient 
interest in this I'd be happy to spin the board layout to fix the errata 
we found in the first one (all minor stuff - see the website for 
details). Probably ought to put together a more detailed BOM as well.

Also, don't forget Seb Francis' Digi-Mod dsPIC project - it's very 
similar to this one with some nice extras - decent audio codec, sample 
memory, more CV inputs, etc. Last he mentioned it he had a layout done 
but I haven't heard more from him about it since then and he pulled the 
schematics & board plots from his site. I don't recall if it had CV outs 
though...
