EDU DIY EG

Many iconic sounds like the squelchy acid bass line, snappy techno kick drum, and swelling dream pop pad wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for envelope generators. So, the next module in the mki x es.edu line is a slightly optimized ADSR envelope generator. Optimized because it has only 3 controls. With sustain on, it outputs an ASR (attack/sustain/release) envelope, but when the sustain is set to a minimum, it becomes an AD (attack/decay) envelope generator that ignores gate length; Release and Decay are controlled by the same knob. A looping function and an inverted output make the module more versatile for complex patches.

EDU DIY VCA

mki x es.EDU VCA is a simple yet efficient dual VCA for your eurorack system. It has DC-coupled inputs so you can use the VCA both for audio and CV signals. Inputs of the second VCA are normalled to the first one which allows to split the audio signal to both VCA or control both VCAs with a single CV. A 60-page build manual explains the electronics behind the module and provides step-by-step build instructions.

DIY eurorack case for mki x es.EDU system

The mki x es.edu project takes you on a journey of building a complete, self-contained eurorack system. Those who are already into eurorack will find the mki x es.edu modules to be a nice addition to their existing systems, but those who are about to take their first steps into modular synthesizers will need a reliable and safe power supply unit (PSU) and enclosure.

EDU DIY VCO

Ever wondered how synthesizers actually work? This kit is your chance to find out – by building a real VCO from scratch. Using just a handful of components and a breadboard, you’ll create a fully functional analog oscillator – the core building block of any synth voice. Along the way, you’ll learn about basic electronic concepts like voltage, current, and resistance, and how they come together to create oscillation, control pitch, and shape waveforms.
