Monthly Synth Module Building Workshops at Robot Speak

"Monthly Synth Module building workshops at Robot Speak starting @ 12:00 on Saturday May 19th!

Every third Saturday of the month we will get together and build up a synth module in a group.

How much does it cost and what do you get ?:

$150- Per seat includes pcb and all parts to build a module. There will be a group there to help make sure your module is completed in that Saturday session.

Never soldered before ? Can't read schematics ? ....

Don't worry. Show up early and we will show you how.

What do I need to bring?

Soldering Iron, Wire strippers, Solder sucker, any tools. ( If you don't have them all the first time its ok. contact Dmitri before hand and we will sort something out).

Will it work with my Eurorack system ? How about panels ?

We are working on making these workshops Non Format Dependent. What we mean by that Is we plan to do circuits that will fit behind most panel sizes. While some pcbs already have panels available for them on the market. We are working with some very talented panel designers to help do custom panels for the group.

Projects will also include power regulation when needed for +-12v and +-15v systems.

Ok are you sold yet ? As if that weren't enough. We received the ok from Ken Stone to build his Serge licensed pcbs. Serge lived across the street in the 70s and 80s.

upon hearing about this Cynthia Webster of Cyndustries fame has joined us and will be giving the first workshop on May 19th! Cynthia was here in SF's modular heyday and used to hang out and solder with Serge. She is designing a very special top secret circuit for us to be unveiled at the workshop! We can say that you will be able to use it with your modular system.

So for $150- I get to build a circuit/module designed by Cynthia Webster for my modular even if i never built a module before ?

Yes. You don't have to source the parts your self. This will be a module that is not yet on the market so... You couldn't buy it if you wanted to. Social learning and building. I could go on and on about what kind of a value this is but I won't. Did I mention that she will be traveling up from So Cal to give the workshop in person?

She is doing this, We are doing this to help kick start some communal modular SDIY in SF. We have rich history here but when someone comes from out of town to visit the old mecca of modular there isn't much to see... We aim to change that. We aim to build this monthly thing, purvey the art of SDIY, Celebrate the history.
