Kit Assembly
This kit is rated as easy, takes around 2 hours to make and is suitable for all ages. The only equipment needed to complete this kit is a soldering iron and a pair of flush cutters. A 2-3g pack of SAC305 Lead free solder is included – the perfect amount to build your kit!
What Is A Baby8?
The Baby8 is not an instrument in itself, but a controller of a vast array of other noise making devices with a 0-5V CV input. Examples include our Mini Atari Punk Console, synthesizers, drum machines, effects pedals – the list is endless!
Build Support
We are unable to provide individual customer support with kit building so please see the detailed assembly guide here to gauge difficulty before purchasing. Once started, kits cannot be refunded. We also have a handy soldering tutorial here!
2X FUNCTION OPTIONS
Step Reset Mode
Set the length of your sequence from 1-8 steps in this mode. Simply set the switch after your chosen number of steps to reset and away you go!
Step Skipping Mode
When selected, this mode enables you to set any of the switches (2-8) to ‘skip’ and then continues with the rest of the sequence creating all manner of funky rhythms!
CONNECT TO OUR MINI APC
A set of connectors is included in your kit, use them to bring the Baby8 and mini APC together for all sorts of fun which you can see in the video demo further down the page. The set consists of two strips of pin headers and 5 multi-coloured jumper cables to connect power sharing, 2x CVs, Gate and Ground.
don’t just take our word for it!!

One of the easiest and cheapest DIY stepsequencer !
There are few parts (so it takes only a couple hours to build), the assembly guide is very well done, and the square blue leds look nice. It’s great to drive a synth, or nice also to sequence their DIY drumsynth.
JD (verified owner) –
This unit is great. It worked straight away, even after being assembled by me. Combined with the drum synth, it’s easy to get some blippy rhythms going in no time. Excellent value for money.

Great ! easy to build ! amazing to play !
James Smith (verified owner) –
A brilliant little kit for budding synth fans. Worked 99% straight away, and Darren was incredibly helpful in working out what I’d done wrong for the last little bit! The patch outputs let you easily use it to drive other hacked devices, like my monotron!
o.marcenaro (verified owner) –
Had great fun building the Baby8 – really nice implementation of this circuit, the ability to change the duty of the gate is great, and the dual function reset/omit switches work a treat. Soldering the kit is pretty straightforward, just keep your wits about you and be aware that the frequency control pot is a different value from the cv pots. I built mine in less than two hours.
It integrates really well with my Eurorack modular, but will also work well with software such as VCV Rack if you have a DC coupled audio interface.
Nothing quite like this elsewhere on the market as far as I’m aware, and the finished kit looks great and is drawing admiring looks from colleagues and students
