Win Eurorack DIY kits by North Coast Synthesis and Patching Panda
The days are getting shorter in the northern hemisphere and a DIY project is the perfect way to pass the time on those long, cold evenings! And if you end up with a couple of exciting new modules for your Eurorack system, that’s even better! If you love modular synthesizers and aren’t afraid to pick up a soldering iron, this raffle is for you!
We’ve teamed up with Exploding Shed, a well-known online shop for synthesizer DIY kits. Gearnews and Exploding Shed are giving away a DIY bundle that consists of the North Coast Synthesis Leapfrog VCF and the Patching Panda Punch modules. Both kits are full kits and include all required parts, so you don’t have to order any extra parts from another electronics retailer.
North Coast Synthesis Leapfrog VCF
The North Coast Synthesis Leapfrog VCF is a 16 HP low pass filter module based on a unique design. The manufacturer says that rather than copying the classic VCF designs (Moog ladder, 2-pole state variable) for the umpteenth time, they’ve come up with an innovative filter topology of their own, which is characterized by a very steep, near-elliptical response curve. The module offers three modulation inputs (1V/oct, exponential FM, linear FM) and even includes a built-in VCA. The kit has a medium build difficulty and requires the soldering of through-hole components only, there are no SMT parts. The North Coast Synthesis Leapfrog VCF DIY kit has a retail value of EUR 223.
Find out more about the Leapfrog VCF on the manufacturer’s website.
Patching Panda Punch
Punch by Patching Panda is a dual-channel VCA with built-in, voltage-controlled decay envelopes. Its main focus is on dynamic percussive sounds, but it can also be used for bass lines, leads, envelopes and more. The envelopes offer variable response curves and can be activated with triggers, gates or CVs. Punch is a beginner-level DIY kit with pre-soldered SMT components. You only need to solder the larger through-hole components. The kit’s retail value is EUR 125.
Find out more about Punch on the manufacturer’s website.

Thank you GearNews for this raffle!
I’m in
So cool! I’m In!
As someone who owns a MiniBrute 2s and dreams of getting into modular for 2 years now this would be an amazing startup boost. Exactly a filter and a VCA is what I would buy or diy first for my needs. So I would be very happy to build these kits and make my journey come true (haha even with 2 modules it would be a long and still expensive way ^^ – but I really wanna do it)
in to win! 🙂
Fill my first eurorack slots !
Excellent, would enjoy building these.
I’ve had both of these companies on my radar for next Eurorack purchases! I’m in and crossing my fingers.
Im in
What a neat idea. Just happy to be here.
Cool offer! This would be fun, as it brings back great memories of my Paia kit from back in the day.
This would be a great start for my Eurorack! Thanks for considering my studio.
1 entry please
When I saw this filter come out I was really intrigued by its topology, asking friends around if what they claimed was possible. Can’t wait to build it and integrate it in my all DIY modular!
oh yes pls, count me in!
Ok let’s go !
Lucky me why not ?
Awesome…. That will be great
Wish me luck!
Oh this would be nice. 2020 has been hard on most of us. Good luck everyone!
Great stuff. That filter sounds very interesting!
I really want them!
Nice one matey
Great news everyone!
oh, i’ve made myself sad.
Sure let’s get in on this.
🙂
Yeah – I really need this. A punch in the right direction, and a leapfrog for my Eurorack voyages:-)
I’ve been trying to years to avoid getting into the Eurorack stuff – mainly because I’ll end up penniless but with a cool wall of noise-making machines. But the lure is getting almost too much now, so this might be my gateway in…
Would love to build one of the Leapfrog filters!

Great modules, I want them!
Looks great! The guy behind North Coast is really knowledgable and his designs are solid.
💙💙
I’ve been working on my DIY eurorack setup for about a year now. Built the case myself, put together the rails and most of my tier 1 setup, which is just a modulation matrix. There’s a big problem however, I’m quite financially challenged at the moment since Covid came by and borderline destroyed the music industry where I live; even more timely is that I am a recent graduate.
Do I absolutely need this? No, not really, but it would help out quite a lot in the future and ease myself on making my eurorack setup. If I lose, I save up and get my kits anyway, if I win, it only helps.
Much love to you guys and best of luck.
From your DIY dude who makes the best of what he’s got. Have a blessed day, and cheers.
I would love to get the Filter. Daring…
Of course i would love to win my first not build on stripboard module
