User.Drawings Layer

The template includes 80 footprints for you to place knobs, switches and jacks. These footprints are drawn on the User.Drawings layer. The layer is locked, to make sure it doesn't move. It is aligned perfectly to the 42HP panel you’re designing.

Synth Components

On the left you'll find various footprints for common knobs (Rogan, like the ones Make Noise/Mutable Instruments/Qu-Bit and many others use), switches, jacks and faders.
