I know the Eurorack format is (physically) small and there may not be
space to do this, but I'm wondering if a module could be made
"modular" in that the guts would be on one (or however many) PCB with
a connector to the front panel holding the switches, LEDs and
controls, and you could make both a Eurorack front panel and a 5U
front panel for a single module, or just make the Eurorack front panel
unless and until there's enough orders for the 5U.

Here's a partly related question: Are there "standard" voltages and
power connectors for 5u? Is this the original Moog modular format? I'm
guessing this would be +/- 15v. I've done electronic design and I was
a little disappointed to find that Eurorack is +/-12V when the
traditional "standard" op-amp voltages are +/-15V.
