I'm starting up my first synth DIY project and have breadboard Ed my circuits. I'm now ready to take the plunge and convert it to a pcb. Question: what is/are the standard pcb circuit design app (s) that are commonly used? Will obviously want to save the pcb file to send to a manufacturer, are there different formats of pcb files? Do they easily convert from one to another? For paid apps, are there any benefits that you aren't going to get in freeware?

I don't want to spend time crafting up the design and save it to a cjfjffjf format and then find out that manufacturers do best with a rorkrkrkf format.

Thanks all.

I've been experimenting with suboscillators recently on VCV (Substation, or just paired oscillators dropped 1 octave sort etc). I have a "real" modular system as well and would like some ideas on a good suboscillator vco module to add to my rack. Emphasis would be on flexibility of the module (ie lots of cv options, maybe dual subosc outputs or something). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Or, any point in going the cheaper route and just buying an octave shifter to use pipe into into two of my current oscillators? Thanks all.
