Erica Synths - EDU DIY Drum Sequencer

Most drum sequencers are complex machines crowded with buttons and LEDs. The mki x es.edu DIY Drum Sequencer kit takes a different path: a hands-on rhythm engine with a minimalist interface built from just a handful of logic chips. The four independent channels are programmed in real time using a single button, so patterns loop automatically, can be shortened on the fly and support half-time playback for slower, evolving grooves.

Accents and dynamics are handled by synced LFOs, and a simple resistor DAC converts patterns into stepped control voltages – perfect for modulating pitch, decay, filter cutoff, or other parameters. This logic-chip sequencer delivers tactile, musical performance without relying on microcontrollers, making it an excellent DIY drum sequencer kit for learning sequencer design and sharpening soldering skills.

Features:
• 4 independent channels with one-button step input/removal
• 16 steps per channel, individually reducible to 12 or 7
• Optional half-time mode per channel
• Two syncable analog LFOs for dynamic accents
• Resistor-DAC output for pitch or decay modulation
• Internal clock with 16th, 8th, and quarter note outputs, syncable to external gear
