Coron DrumSynth8 Clone
This is a clone of the famous Coron DS8 DrumSynth unit from the seventies. Many years ago, when I started with this hobby, one of the first PCB’s I bought was of a clone of this device. It’s a wonderful little board which allows you to generate all kinds of spacey drum sounds. I’ve adapted it to a Eurorack module and included a small mod, a on-off-on ‘weird’ toggle switch, which generates even spacier drum sounds.
