We are bringing back our workshop led by Efe Çakır, focusing on electronic circuits, synthesizer construction, and musical instrument design. A class will be formed for this session, and participation is limited.
The focus of the workshop will be the construction of a 4-oscillator analog drone synthesizer from scratch.
The class will take place on Monday, December 16, starting at 11:00 AM and lasting approximately 5–6 hours.
All PCB and electronic components of the synthesizer shown in the photo will be fully provided and included in the workshop fee. You do not need to bring anything with you — soldering iron, solder, flux, speaker, battery, and all other necessary tools will be supplied.
If you’ve done soldering a few times before, this workshop is perfect for you. At the end of the class, the synthesizer you built will be yours to keep.
At the beginning of the session, you’ll receive all components, as well as schematics and notes related to our synthesizer.
We will start with introductory topics such as:
 “What is electricity?”, “Basic information about electronic components used”, and “Reading a schematic.”
From there, we’ll move section by section through the synthesizer, step by step, answering:
 “What is an oscillator?”, “What is a VCA?” — and explore how each part works.
By the end, we’ll all be playing our newly built synthesizers together!
If you have any questions or would like to register, feel free to contact us.
To reserve your spot, payment must be made before the workshop date.
Please note: No refunds will be issued for cancellations within one week of the workshop.
