Digital Music Synthesis-Solder workshop with ArduTouch music synthesizer kit
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 an open hardware kit.
ArduTouch is performing musical instrument designed for total beginners to learn to solder, as well as to learn Digital Signal Processing for making sound. It is called ArduTouch because it is based on Arduino, and it has a touch keyboard. It also has a built-in speaker/amp, so you can play/perform wherever you go.
ArduTouch comes pre-programmed with a way nice 4-voice sawtooth waveform, but can be easily re-programmed with other way different synths, including already available drums, drones, noise, arpegios, and others; or with synths of your own making.
My teaching is always free.
Materials cost for those wanting hands-on:
€35 (plus €5 for those wanting a USB-Serial cable for re-programming the ArduTouch)
Learn to Solder workshop
Anyone can learn to solder! It is useful and fun. This workshop is for kids of all ages (and anyone of any age). Learn to solder by making a cool badge that you can wear and blink wherever you go. The "I Can Solder!" Badge kit is a very simple open hardware kit that anyone can use for learning to solder. I will also give a fun overview of how it works. This workshop is for total newbies to learn to solder. All ages. I guarantee your badge will work after you solder it!
My teaching is always free.
Materials cost for those wanting hands-on:
€10
