In this workshop we will teach the basics of electronics and synthesizer design. To keep it old-school, we will focus on analog electronics, and to keep it manageable we will make a "non-musical" synthesizer. In other words a noisy box perfect for creating interesting sound effects and alerting your colleagues of impending meetings. We will build the different parts of the synthesizer on breadboard to get an understand of how they work, and the students will get a PCB to solder permanently. Parts will be provided.
