mki x es.EDU (Erica Synths) EDU DIY Drum Sequencer — Hands-On, Logic-Chip-Based Drum Sequencer Kit With Detailed Step-by-Step Documentation.
Erica Synths and Moritz Klein have developed a series of educational DIY kits under the brand name mki x es.EDU with one specific goal in mind: to teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analog synthesizer circuits from scratch. What you'll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack. Instead, they want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice they've made and how it impacts the finished module.
The EDU DIY Drum Sequencer kit teaches you how to build a four-channel rhythm machine using only a handful of logic chips — no microcontroller in sight. All necessary parts are included. Each channel gets its own mechanical keyboard button for real-time step input, making pattern programming a great deal more fun. Patterns can be shortened on the fly (16, 12, or 7 steps), and half-time mode lets you slow things down per channel. Two syncable analog LFOs handle accents, while a resistor-DAC converts patterns into stepped CVs for modulating pitch, decay, or whatever else you fancy.
Please note: The do-it-yourself kit includes all the parts necessary to build this module. This is a beginners kit; you need very little prior experience and basic hand tools (small screwdriver, soldering iron, etc.). We cannot assist with assembling/soldering the kit and take no responsibility if the kit does not work after self-assembly.
Features:
- 4 independent channels with one-button step input/removal
- 16 steps per channel, individually reducible to 12 or 7
- Optional half-time mode per channel
- Two syncable analog LFOs for dynamic accents
- Resistor-DAC output for pitch or decay modulation
- Internal clock with 16th, 8th, and quarter note outputs, syncable to external gear
