I’ve spent the past 2 weeks designing a eurorack module (MIDI thru that can handle all the different connector “standards”). It’s crazy how many details need to be considered and it’s definitely given me a better appreciation for how that stuff is priced. While a lot of components are dirt cheap, some can be pretty expensive, and it really adds up once you use multiple of them. Plus prototyping, assembly, testing… It’s way more work than I initially thought.
