Build Your Own Synth hosted by Dogbotic

Ever wanted to build a synthesizer?

In this beginner's workshop led by Dogbotic, participants will learn the process step-by-step, demystifying the horrible world of electrical engineering at every turn. You'll learn how to build basic oscillators, filters, LFOs, and amplifiers, how to rig up your circuit to be light-sensitive, and oh-so-much more. Each participant will make their own working synth prototype, which we'll tune together to form a delicious sound bath. You'll then get to take your prototype home and use it to impress and irritate your friends and loved ones.All parts are included, no prior circuitry experience or musical ability needed!

You’ll be learning with:

Kirk Pearson (Dogbotic founder, creative director) and Sean Russell Hallowell (Dogbotic partner, technical director), both teach the DIY Synths virtual workshop.

About Dogbotic:

Dogbotic is a Bay-area based collective that teaches unconventional art classes as a means to promote creativity, discourage mindless consumerism, and engage in conversations about how to use our art to make the world more equitable. Our instructors love teaching artists how to engineer, and convincing folks how straightforward a lot of seemingly “difficult” concepts are. We hope to be a space free of judgement that fosters genuine collaboration and curiosity and an appreciation for the weird and wonderful.
