Erica Synths EDU DIY FM Drum is a DIY kit in Eurorack format designed for those who want to add an extremely versatile rhythm source to their system: a drum circuit that blends the impact and presence of analog sound with the typical bright, metallic overtones of FM synthesis.
The result is a "drum voice" capable of covering a wide range: from classic kick drums and toms with assertive attack to sharper, resonant hits and metallic clangors. It is an ideal module for both techno and contemporary electronic patterns and experimental patches where percussion becomes timbral material to be sculpted and modulated.
The mki x es.EDU series, developed by Erica Synths and Moritz Klein, was created with a specific goal in mind: to guide even those with little or no experience in understanding and designing analog synthesizer circuits. This kit is not just meant to be assembled and "put in the rack," but to walk you through the process, explaining design choices and their impact on module behavior and final sound.
The kits in the series include very thorough manuals that can be downloaded separately. Precisely because of the DIY nature, no technical support is provided in case the assembly does not work properly or construction-related problems arise.
