Open hardware analog synths?

I must admit I don't know much about synths, so my search could have been unsuccessful due to my inexperience. I want to experiment with synths thou, and seems like a good excuse to build so hardware myself.

I've been looking around and haven't found much in terms of open hardware projects I could use. What I'm ideally looking is something useful as a starter analog synth that on top of schematics also contains PCB layout files (preferable) or gerber files.

What I found:

Werkstatt-01: Seems like a nice starting option, schematics are available but not PCB layout, so that may be tricky, specially not knowing much about the possible noise sources. Also not ideal that it's not really open in the sense that I could share the designed PCB and derivatives. (it's not even 100% clear if I could even create my own hardware from schematics)

Erica Synths: Open sourced a bunch of stuff which seems interesting. Gerbers are available but not (editable) PCB layouts. Also unsure if this could be used standalone, but I can probably figure this part out with more research. License is great in order to create derivative works.

​

Any obvious choices out there?
