This is an introduction to Grainscape from Takazudo’s hobby blank panel series. Grainscape is a set of 5 design blank panels in sizes 1HP / 2HP / 3HP / 4HP / 12HP. Each panel features different designs on the front and back, and when lined up together, the patterns connect to form a continuous design.

Overview
These blank panels were designed by Takazudo using CAD data and manufactured at a factory.
The material is FR-4, the same material used for PCB boards, which has excellent heat resistance. The shiny parts are copper, with an ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) surface finish — nickel and gold plating applied over the copper.
When making PCBs, copper is used for the conductive parts. These blank panels are made the same way, with the copper layer — normally designated for electrical conductivity — applied across the entire shiny area.
The size variations are focused primarily on smaller sizes.
This blank panel set was completed in collaboration with my friend, designer SAUCER.

About SAUCER
A solo designer based in Tokyo.
The name SAUCER is a coined word combining "Sauce" and "-er" — someone who adds design as a flavoring to raw material, making the products they touch more appealing. Through that lens, SAUCER brings a distinctive design flavor to modular-synth-related products, aiming to lift the spirits of the people who play with them.
We hope you’ll fill your empty rack spaces with your favorite blank panels and add some flair to your modular synth setup.
We plan to continue creating more blank panel designs in this series.
