E-Licktronic is a French electronics company that specializes in DIY kits and analog synthesizer modules, with a particular focus on faithful clones of classic Roland drum machines. Their best-known products are the Yocto, a near-identical reproduction of the Roland TR-808, and the Nava, a clone of the TR-909, both offered as complete kits that hobbyists assemble themselves. The Yocto reaches the original sound by reusing the same analog circuits as the TR-808, while adding modern conveniences such as MIDI and tweakable decay parameters.

Beyond drum machine clones, E-Licktronic builds the M-100 Series, a line of modules compatible with the Roland System 100M rack format. The series includes the M-111 VCO/VCF, the M-142 Dual Envelope/LFO/Sequencer, the M-118a drum module with built-in sequencer, and matching cases like the M-191-X. The company has also collaborated with Erica Synths on a Cowbell module.

The brand has a strong following in the DIY and modular synth community, and is frequently discussed on forums such as Mod Wiggler and Gearspace. Their approach appeals to producers and electronic musicians who want authentic vintage drum-machine sound and the experience of building the instrument themselves, rather than buying a turnkey product.

E-Licktronic has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Drum Machines.
