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.
