Music Generation for Newbies / Learn to Solder workshop -- ArduTouch music synthesizer
Anyone can learn to solder!
And anyone can learn to make music, sound (and noise!) with computer chips!
All participants will easily learn all of this by making an ArduTouch music synthesizer from a kit.
For total beginners.
This workshop will be given:
TBD
NOTE: You do NOT need to register to take this workshop -- please show up early to ensure a seat at the Hardware Hacking Area.
Abstract:
ArduTouch is an open source Arduino-compatible music synthesizer kit with a built-in touch keyboard, and with built-in speaker/amplifier.
This workshop is for total newbies to learn to solder and make their own ArduTouch music synthesizer.
This workshop is for total newbies to learn the basics of how to make sound with computer chips.
The ArduTouch comes pre-programmed with a way cool synthesizer. And I will show you how to re-program it with other way cool (and totally different) synthesizers, and how to make your own synthesizers.
When:
TBD
Full Description:
Learn to solder by making a way-cool, powerful music synthesizer, and
learn how to make cool music, sound, (and noise!) with computer chips
(The fancy word for making sound with a computer chip is Digital Signal Processing or DSP).
ArduTouch is an open hardware Arduino-compatible music synthesizer kit with a built-in Touch Keyboard, and with built-in speaker/amplifier. It is a really nice performing musical instrument.
This workshop is for total newbies to learn to solder.
This workshop is for total newbies to make their own ArduTouch music synthesizer and learn to make music, sound (and noise!) with computer chips. Attendees take their completed synthesiser home at the end of the workshop.
The ArduTouch comes pre-programmed with a way cool synthesizer. And I will show you how to re-program it with other way cool (and totally different) synthesizers, as well as how to make your own synthesizers.
For ages 10 - 100.
Taught by Mitch Altman.
Optional: Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installed on it.
Arduino software runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Materials costs
The workshop is free, but if you would like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop, Mitch will have ArduTouch kits for €35.
Optional: USB-Serial Cable for re-programming ArduTouch (and many other projects): 5 €.
Workshop Itinerary
- Intro to music synthesis
- Basics of making sound with computer chips (Digital Signal Processing)
- Basics of using an Arduino
- Learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught tens of thousands of people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful.
- How to re-program your ArduTouch music synthesizer to make lots of cool music, sounds, (and noise!)
Summary
What: Make an ArduTouch music synthesizer
When: TBD
Where: Hardware Hacking Area (see Map, below)
Who: Anyone and everyone can have fun making the ArduTouch music synthesizer Ages 10 to 100
Max #: 50 participants -- This workshop will fill up, so please do arrive early!
Cost: €35 for materials -- (€40 if you also want a USB-Serial cable for re-programming the ArduTouch)
Instructor: Mitch Altman
