Erica Synths EDU DIY FM Drum – educational DIY Eurorack module that combines the aggressive attack of analog percussion with the metallic character of FM synthesis. This versatile kit enables a wide palette of drum sounds ranging from deep kicks and resonant toms to clangy, industrial hits and more.
Developed by Erica Synths in collaboration with Moritz Klein, this module is part of the mki x es.EDU series – a line of educational kits designed to teach you the fundamentals of analog synth circuit design. Instead of just soldering parts together, you’re guided through each decision in the design, learning how each component shapes the final sound. Ideal for beginners and synth enthusiasts eager to learn electronics hands-on.
Please note: this kit is intended for educational purposes. It includes comprehensive assembly instructions, but customer support is not provided for troubleshooting build issues. For help and community discussion, refer to the official Mod Wiggler thread.
