Gino,
First, can you point me to some of the generic panels?
Here's a video explaining my project. I'm using a behringer controller for the knobs at this point, but w/o the LED, I don't have a good reference for what connections are being made.

The Corral Snake Matrix switch is a dual 8x8 audio(or DC) switch with a range of +/- 5v.

I'd like to put this LED matrix on/behind a panel, perhaps something like the picture below.
The knobs would select column (output) and the (single) associated input row.
The USB connection allows all of these settings to be made via MIDI, so the LED would change to reflect the connections either from the knobs or via MIDI.
Most inputs/outputs would be hardwired behind the panel (e.g. multiple waveforms as inputs from one or more oscillators). So, the jacks would be there to manually reroute the outputs, for added flexibility. Perhaps a combination of ins/outs would be used instead of all outputs, but for the sake of panel economy, most of these connections would be hardwired.
Each LED display has two rows of 8 pins to control the LED matrix. The "trough"s (slots) would allow the display to connect "through" the panel to the PCB with socket on the back.
Note that I have not shown the holes needed to secure the pcb to the panel. They do need to be added.

This looks like an opportunity to consider some of the Livid DIY Builder boards and panels..
It also sounds like a good generic panel idea.
