the mki. x it. EDU series is a new DIY Eurorack module series by Erica Synths and Moritz Klein. The special thing about it is the concept of these. This is not about simple soldering modules together but also about imparting knowledge. With every DIY kit, users get a comprehensive manual with you can learn every little detail of the circuit and the components. Plus you learn how the circuit works. So practice and theory in one package

The latest addition is a clever envelope generator for Eurorack.

mki x es.EDU ENV

The new mki x es.EDU ENV is a new DIY ADSR envelope with a simple but clever design. Due of an optimized circuit design, it only gives you three controls giving the the full flexibility of a classic envelope. With sustain on, it creates an ASR (attack/sustain/release) envelope.

When the sustain is set to minimum, it becomes an AD (attack/decay) envelope generator that ignores gate length. In this case the knob controls the release and decay at the same time. It also offers a handy looping function and an inverted output making it more versatile and rich for complex sounds. Another interesting modules from this existing series.

mki x es.EDU DIY Series

Together with the envelope, there are now three DIY modules (VCO, VCA, ENV) that are available from the new mki x es.EDU series developed in collaboration with Moritz Klein. There is also a newly designed case for these modules.

In total, there will be 9 kits to build a fully-featured modular monosynth. In the next months (4-6 week a new module), they will publish a sequencer, a wavefolder, a noise/S&H module, a mixer, a VCF, and an output stereo mixer with a headphone amplifier.
