You can read about my VCO project here.

You should think about panel features you want for your CGS VCO. There
many options to consider, and it's no problem filling up a 2U panel with
CGS VCO features. Look around the files section for ideas. Mine has
only the features I wanted. Some minor issues with my 1U CGS VCO
panel: 1) It uses 0.4 mm engravings -- I recommend using 0.2 mm now,
for reasons that have been discussed on this list. 2) It uses my
original tic mark style, which is more costly than HPGL tic marks. I'd
like to point out that you can easily fit two toggle switches in the
space above the jacks and below the pots on a standard MOTM 3-pot,
6-jack layout. The switches are 0.7 inches above the jacks.

(If anybody would like one of my older FPE designs like the CGS VCO, but
with HPGL tic marks and 0.2 mm engraving, I'll be happy to make one for
you.)

I always start a new FPE panel by taking some other one to use as a
template and SAVE AS the new file. My 2U Dual CGS VCA panel can be used
as a template, if you like:
