thx a lot !
i go to see and download that, and see if it’s a possible way

When I was talking about making it on a stripboard I was talking about the solder plate, not about making a stripboard layout with software because I have never done it, I don’t have the software and know nothing about it. 
Sorry … maybe someone else but not me

Post good pictures of your build and someone will make a “computerized” layout from it.
But not me 
I’m struggling to learn KiCad to make PCBs…
The basic schematics editor is almost OK.

it’s not for now, I just finished my 3rd case and will have fun with it and start again on new modules and a new case in a while,
but I put aside things in advance

you will say that I suck,… but I cannot find the code for the Arduino 
Dac_ino is a “generic” board for synth modules, you can install many different softwares on it.
The code for the Quantizer is in it’s own repository at https://github.com/holmesrichards/QuantizerModule/tree/master/software

Not quite correct, because the Quantizer sketch uses the dac/ino library as well as the Quantizer library, so you need things from both repositories.
The dac/ino library is here https://github.com/holmesrichards/dac_ino/tree/master/software
The Quantizer library is here https://github.com/holmesrichards/QuantizerModule/tree/master/software/Quantizer
The main sketch is here https://github.com/holmesrichards/QuantizerModule/tree/master/software/QuantSketch
https://github.com/holmesrichards/QuantizerModule/tree/master/software contains both those folders as well as data files and a Python script needed if you want to change the scales used.

thx for your patience, i’m noob with arduino
dac_ino.cpp or dac_ino.h ?
…

Both
dac_ino.h tells the IDE (well, the compiler…) what the library does.
dac_ino.cpp is how the library does it.

thx, does that make 5 things to copy ?
Yes (at least):
dac_ino.cpp
dac_ino.h
Quantizer.cpp
Quantizer.h
QuantSketch.ino
(or you could just download and unzip https://github.com/holmesrichards/QuantizerModule/archive/master.zip and https://github.com/holmesrichards/dac_ino/archive/master.zip and you’ll have everything, code and schematics and documentation and all)

thanks !
is it an enigma or what ? 
Oh, also… the dac_ino library itself uses three libraries:
- Arduino, which is standard (built in to the IDE)
- SPI, which I think is also built in to the IDE
- DirectIO, from here: https://github.com/mmarchetti/DirectIO.git (yeah, another repo! For this you apparently just need DirectIO.h, there is no .cpp file, though I just downloaded and unzipped https://github.com/mmarchetti/DirectIO/archive/master.zip and put the whole thing in my libraries folder.)

3 librairies ,IDE, SPI … too technical, I am lost and do not understand anything …
please maybe someone could make a unique and complet .ino file for this Quantizer to make it easier
and if I’m not the only one struggling like this, it could also help others

You should learn how to use libraries, it’s a very useful thing to know. There’s not much to it, though it might depend on your platform and IDE (Arduino interface program). I use Linux and the off-line (non web based) IDE and for me:
- Quantizer.cpp and Quantizer.h go in a folder called Quantizer which goes in the folder ~/Arduino/libraries
- dac_ino.cpp and dac_ino.h go in a folder called dac_ino which goes in the folder ~/Arduino/libraries
- DirectIO.h goes in a folder called DirectIO which goes in the folder ~/Arduino/libraries
- QuantSketch.ino goes in a folder called QuantSketch which can be anywhere
- You might need to use the “manage libraries” menu item in the IDE to add the SPI library
Then it’s just a matter of loading QuantSketch.ino and it finds the libraries automatically. For Windows or Mac or the web-based IDE it might be slightly different but only slightly.
If you can figure out building synth modules, you can figure out using Arduino libraries. They’re a lot easier. Don’t be afraid to try it.

ok thank you, yes it’s surely easier than building modules, but I’m less interested in it and all that in english it’s a bit complicated for me, even if I have already managed to understand a few things, install a library and even modify a code once. But now with all these folders / files it gets more complicated for me.
I naively imagined as for the 8 Step seq Arduino or the Big Button of Sam, an .ino file to load and hop finished
i would try and see that later

Decided some time ago to document my stripboard work using fritzing. Total noob to this but it makes pretty pictures and a great archive tool. Im familiar with jlbpcb board making and impressed with what many here have achieved. I toyed with the notion of designing a single board for Sam’s core setup (vcos, filters,vca etc.) But as with all my current projects … it’s on the pile
Best of luck with the new case @Dud
