Modular Synth Panels

Well, I have a Klee2 kit waiting for the much hoped for 3rd PCB run
and if Bridechamber does a panel I will buy it with or without those
16 CV inputs on it and (I would guess) a daughterboard to go with
them. (Why not? I plan to eventually buy at least one of almost
everything else at Bridechamber!)
