As part of their ongoing collaboration with electronics guru Moritz Klein, Erica Synths have announced the launch of a new DIY Eurorack module that blends the ‘punch’ of classic analogue drum voices with the metallic-sounding tones of FM synthesis.
Aptly named the EDU DIY FM Drum, the latest addition to the company’s collection of self-build modules is said to be capable of crafting anything from kicks and toms to metallic clangs and more. A pair of large Tune controls are followed by Tune Depth, Tune Decay, Tune CV Level and Decay knobs, while FM and Shape switches dictate the type of sounds that the module will produce. Helpfully, the switches are accompanied by graphic that explains which type of sounds will be generated with each combination of switch positions.
As with all modules in the EDU DIY series, the FM Drum is provided in kit form, and there’s a comprehensive downloadable manual that walks the user through the build process.
Pricing & Availability
The EDU DIY FM Drum is available now, priced at €75.
