A class will be formed for this upcoming workshop. Participation is limited. The workshop topic will be the construction of a 4-oscillator analog drone synthesizer. The session will start at 11:00 AM on Sunday, February 16, and will last approximately 5-6 hours.
All PCB and electronic components of the synthesizer shown in the picture will be provided to you completely as part of the workshop fee. You do not need to bring anything to the class. Soldering iron, solder, flux, speaker, battery, and other necessary materials will also be provided by us. If you have soldered a few times before, this workshop might be just right for you. At the beginning of the class, all electronic components will be handed over to you along with some schematic diagrams and notes about our synthesizer. We will start with introductory topics such as "What is electricity?", "Basic information about the electronic components used," and "How to read schematics." Then, step by step, we will proceed section by section on the synthesizer, explaining "What is an oscillator?" and "What is a VCA?" so you can understand how each part works. At the end of the class, we will all play our synthesizers together.
If you have any questions or want to apply, please contact us.
To register, payment must be made before the workshop date. Cancellations within one week prior to the workshop are non-refundable.Video Link: https://youtu.be/ymXT4lY7Amg?si=7UO_ATkMnMkYAGnS
