The spark inducer is a development kit for prototyping audio circuits specially designed for creating eurorack modules. It can be used to test your ideas in an isolated environment but with the added benefit of easily connecting to other eurorack compatible devices. It can also be mounted in a standard eurorack enclosure, so you can quickly test how your creation will perform in an actual patch.

It features:

  • 2x 830 point breadboards (BB830/MB-102 type)
  • 6x general purpose connections (inputs or outputs) and 2x buffered outputs
  • 4x arbitrary value potentiometers (the kit comes with 100kΩ ones)
  • preconnected analog power rails, digital +5V power (from the +5V bus)
  • up to 4x selectable voltage references (positive and negative)
  • power switch, status LEDs and resettable fuses on all power rails
  • being powered from a standard 16pin eurorack power connector

The DIY kit is perfect for intermediate builders who already know how to do basic through-hole soldering but want to dip their feet into SMD soldering, as it mainly consists of relatively easy to solder 0805 and 1206 sized passive components, some SOIC packages and a bunch of 2.54mm headers.
