We are organizing a repeat session of our workshop led by Efe Çakır, focusing on the design and construction of electronic circuits, synthesizers, and musical instruments. This workshop will form a class with limited seats. The main project is building a 4-oscillator analog drone synthesizer.
The workshop will take place on Sunday, October 27th, starting at 11:00 AM, lasting approximately 5-6 hours.
All PCBs and electronic components needed to build the synthesizer shown in the picture will be fully provided as part of the workshop fee. You don't need to bring anything with you. Soldering irons, solder, flux, speakers, batteries, and other necessary materials will be supplied. This workshop is ideal if you have some basic soldering experience.
At the beginning of the class, you will receive all components along with schematics and notes related to the synthesizer. We will start with basic concepts like “What is electricity?”, “Introduction to electronic components”, and “How to read schematics.” Then, we will proceed step-by-step through the synthesizer sections, explaining “What is an oscillator?”, “What is a VCA?”, etc. By the end of the session, we will all play the synthesizers we built together.
For questions and registration, please contact us.
Please note that payment must be completed before the workshop date. Cancellations within one week prior to the workshop are non-refundable.
