EDU DIY FM Drum Kit by Erica Synths for Analog Circuit Learning
Introduction to EDU DIY FM Drum Kit
Erica Synths, in collaboration with Moritz Klein, has launched the EDU DIY FM Drum Kit as part of their educational DIY series called mki x es.EDU. This series is designed specifically for individuals with little to no prior experience in analog synthesizer circuit design. The goal is to guide users through the process of building analog synthesizer circuits from scratch, providing a hands-on learning experience rather than just a simple assembly task.
Learning Through Circuit Design
The Kit is not just a module to be soldered and used; it is an educational tool that explains every design choice and its impact on the final module. This approach helps users understand the fundamentals of analog synthesis and circuit design, making it an ideal starting point for beginners interested in electronic music production and synthesis.
Features
- Step-by-step educational manual available for download
- Designed for beginners with no prior experience
- Focus on analog synthesizer circuit design
- Part of the mki x es.EDU educational series
- Encourages learning through hands-on assembly and experimentation
Complementary Learning Tool: MKI x ES Labor
Alongside the DIY kits, Erica Synths offers the MKI x ES Labor, developed with Dr. Shalom D. Ruben, a teaching professor of engineering at the University of Colorado. Labor is a versatile circuit design playground and learning platform that supports users from basic to advanced electronics concepts. It allows experimentation with filters, oscillators, envelopes, sequencers, and more, complementing the educational kits by providing a broader electronics learning environment.
Pricing and Availability
The EDU DIY FM Drum Kit is priced at €75.00. EU customers without an EU VAT registration number will incur additional VAT and shipping costs. Customers outside the EU should expect local taxes such as VAT, trade tax, or import duties, plus shipping fees, depending on their country of delivery.
