NB! LABOR is a testing ground for experiments with electronic circuits and we as a manufacturer cannot by any means diagnose any issues with circuits designed on the LABOR board. We will only respond to support tickets regarding obvious malfunctions of the factory-soldered circuits on the main LABOR board. For other cases of malfunction – please consult other LABOR users/ experienced DIY kit builders on online forums, such as this one. Keep experimenting – keep trying!

Erica Synths - EDU DIY BBD
Erica Synths - EDU DIY BBD

available

This module is based around a BBD integrated circuit and allows for classic delay-based effects, from slapback echoes to trailing reverberations, from flanger-like sounds to crusty down-sampled madness.The module is DIY, sold as a kit by Erica Synths and comes with a very thorough assembly manual that provides deep insight into the functioning of every part of the circuit you'll build.The module itself features all your classic delay-related controls, from delay time to feedback amount, a dry/wet mix control and even a switch to select between 2 different delay ranges.A nice, surprising addition is a patch point labeled "Inhibit CV" which, whenever it is presented with a gate signal, will disconnect the clock signal from the BBD chip, essentially stopping the effect in its tracks. The clock will resume as soon as the gate goes low at this patch point, and the BBD circuit will then return to normal operation. This feature lets the player add some rhythm to the effect or perform other interesting shenanigans.We - Erica Synths and Moritz Klein - have developed a series of educational DIY kits under the brand name mki x es.EDU with one specific goal in mind: to teach people with little-to-no prior experience how to design analog synthesizer circuits from scratch. What you’ll find in the box is not simply meant to be soldered together and then disappear in your rack. Instead, we want to take you through the circuit design process step by step, explaining every choice we’ve made and how it impacts the finished module.NB! All kits in these series are simple and come with extensive user manuals which can be downloaded separately, therefore we will not provide customer support in case your DIY build fails to function or similar.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1.
