How hard is it to correct the Schematic so we can actually read the labels and values?
I've printed mine out on A3 (I like being able to make notes and mark stuff off) and the large circuits are sometimes illegible because the labels and values are on top of each other.
Haven't really had a good crack at EAGLE. Is it clear using the software?
It's a nightmare working with it like this.

the board file is available, so you can take this to look at certain elements in eagle, which is kind of handy, for copy reasons they did only give the brd file, without the routing.
with the show command in eagle you can then directly find elements: eg. show r115, highlights the resistor 115 and show the value etc..
so eagle is very handy, but as i said comes without routing in the elicktronic nava, yocto has both schematic and baord, so it is better to work with.

But the PDF/Paper version is hard to work with. Is there a way to clean it up in EAGLE and re-export or something?

yes you can show different layers in eagle and print them.
But in the elicktronic nava case, only the actual elements as resistors caps etc... are shown, not the copper lines.
So its good for identifiying elements witht heir values and such, but not for finding connections between those.

Ok, printing good.
Connections shit.

Got all those already. Thanks
The problem is the overlapping labels and values in the schematic. Its a shit fight.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the layout of the labels and values.
Take a portion of the Snare Drum circuit.
I mean WTF?

from #426700:
-TOM NOISE, C54 from 2.2nF to 4.7nF, R194 from 47k to 100k to emphasize the attack of the Toms"
Has anyone tried this?

in the official schematic ( nava ) C54 is 4n7 and R194 is 100k...
so already built in.
but try playing aroung with C54 probably takes or gives some speed, whatever that causes to the sound, and with R194 and R193 you can alter the gain of the tom noise output stage, so maybe try playing around, will definetly later the sound, to what level i dont know, but maybe try out later.
I like pplaying around with the speeds too.

Second batch Nava mother PCB v1.01 will be updated with all errors corrected
Best regards,

Nice to see the Nava is back in stock again! So do the kits contain the new (corrected) PCBs now? I am asking because it still says v1.0...
