Analog Drum Synth PCB – Inspired by the Rare Kenwood KR-6170

Discover a true analog drum synthesizer PCB, inspired by the extremely rare Kenwood KR-6170, created for musicians, builders, and sound designers who demand authentic vintage tone and character.

This PCB has been carefully designed and manufactured, focusing exclusively on the analog drum synthesizer section, preserving the soul and sonic identity of the original circuit.

🔊 Inductor-Based Analog Sound

Unlike modern digital or IC-heavy designs, this drum synthesizer uses inductors (coils) in its sound generation stages, delivering:

Warm, organic, and punchy analog tone
Unique transient response and natural decay
A character that cannot be accurately replicated digitally
The required inductors are available from Tsomokos Audio and can be supplied upon request.

🥁 Six Analog Drum Voices

The PCB features six independent analog drum sounds, making it ideal for:

Vintage-style drum machines
Modular or semi-modular systems
