Grab a soldering iron and enter the wonderful world of synth DIY! In just a few hours, you can build your own batwing synth, a touch synthesizer which uses just a few CMOS chips and passive components, but can create many interesting digital blips, drones, and squelches, all controllable via six knobs, three touchpoints, and modular synth-compatible inputs and outputs.

Let's get together and geek out over music synthesizers, music synthesis, making sound, and creating music. Hardware, software - anything goes! All are welcome to come and talk synths, play synths, share projects, learn, and share. Some attendees have made their own synths at workshops at HOPE XV - please bring them! Please feel free to bring any synth or sound-making device.
