Gear Knowledge Base
A personal, machine-readable knowledge base for a home music studio, built as a learning project about structuring, verifying and measuring content for retrieval. This site explains how it works with charts and diagrams, and publishes the parts that can be public: the gear inventory, sourced Eurorack specifications, and the project's documentation. Source code: differentJason/gear-graph.

About the manuals
The manufacturers' manuals are copyright their owners. They were converted on the author's machine for personal reference, and the manual text is deliberately not published here. What is published is the method, the measured results, and everything that can be shared.
