Start designing circuits the moment you open the box. Labor Assembled includes a ready-to-use mki x es.edu Labor unit with Labor Scope pre-installed – giving you a three-channel oscilloscope, built-in dual power supply, interfacing section, and essential analog building blocks in one self-contained workstation. No soldering required. Developed in collaboration with Dr. Shalom D. Ruben (University of Colorado), Labor is both an educational tool and a powerful prototyping environment. Build your own filters, oscillators, envelopes, sequencers – or follow along with our series of circuit-design learning kits to learn the fundamentals.

Features

• Fully assembled, tested, and ready to use – no soldering required

• Labor Scope pre-installed: three-channel oscilloscope for visualizing signals directly on the device

• Built-in dual power supply with Eurorack-compatible voltages and short-circuit protection

• Modular interfacing section with 16 slots for pots, jacks, and switches

• Integrated analog building blocks:

    - Pulse / triangle / sine oscillator (audio + LFO range)

    - Multi-mode envelope generator with a Cherry pushbutton trigger

    - Buffered variable control voltage source

• Output amplifier with adjustable gain

• Headphone output and line-level output for listening, recording, or signal analysis

• Expansion slot for adding specialized prototyping tools

• Protective lid to keep your breadboarded circuits safe between sessions

Included in the box

• Fully assembled Labor unit

• Fully assembled Labor Scope module

• Power supply

• Jumper cables

• Pre-built interfacing elements (pots, jacks, switches)

• A wide assortment of essential components so you can get started right away

 

Support

Labor is designed as an open prototyping environment. We provide support for factory-assembled components; we can’t troubleshoot user-built circuits. For design questions, we recommend connecting with experienced users on DIY electronics forums.

Keep experimenting – keep trying.

EDU DIY VCO
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.

EDU DIY Drum Sequencer
EDU DIY Drum Sequencer

Most drum sequencers are complex machines – packed with buttons and LEDs, all driven by a microcontroller. For the mki x es.edu DIY Drum Sequencer kit, we decided to take the opposite approach: a hands-on rhythm engine with a minimalist interface, built from just a handful of logic chips. Each of the sequencer’s four channels is programmed in real time using a single button. Patterns loop automatically, can be shortened on the fly, and support half-time playback for slower, evolving grooves. Accents are handled using synced LFOs, while a simple resistor-DAC turns patterns into stepped control voltages – perfect for modulating pitch, decay, or other parameters. Whether you’re looking to learn about sequencer design, sharpen your soldering skills, or just want a drum sequencer that plays like an instrument, this DIY kit packs surprising depth into a refreshingly simple interface.
