We are organizing a repeat of our workshop on electronic circuits, synthesizer, and musical instrument design with Efe Çakır. The workshop will be held with a limited class size. The subject will be the construction of a 4-oscillator analog drone synthesizer. The session will start on Thursday, January 23rd at 11:00 AM and will last approximately 5-6 hours.
All the PCBs and electronic components for the synthesizer pictured will be provided in full as part of the workshop fee. You don’t need to bring anything with you. Soldering iron, solder, flux, speaker, battery, and all other necessary materials will be provided. This workshop is ideal if you have some prior soldering experience. At the end of the session, you will take home the synthesizer you have built.
At the beginning of the lesson, all electronic components will be handed out, along with schematics and notes related to the synthesizer. Starting with basics such as “What is electricity?”, “Introduction to electronic components”, and “Reading schematics,” we will proceed step-by-step to understand each section of the synthesizer, including “What is an oscillator?” and “What is a VCA?” The lesson will finish with everyone playing their synthesizers together.
For questions and registration, please contact us.
Payment must be made before the workshop date to secure your spot. Cancellations made within one week prior to the workshop are non-refundable.
