This year's MMTA PNW SYNTHFEST will be a "Synth Petting Zoo" held on Saturday September 27 from 1PM - 5PM at the
EMP's Level 3 as part of the
Decibel Festival in Seattle, Washington. Note the dB Festival itself runs September 24 - 28. Be sure to see
their site for a full list of performances, presentations and workshops. This year's conference will include Madrona Labs, Livid Instruments, Roland and Ableton amongst others.
The "Synth Petting Zoo" will be a synth meet and greet, open to the public, and open to all ages. You do not have to bring gear to attend, but if you'd like to bring your gear and share what you have with others, please sign up at the
MMTA forum here. If you have trouble signing up feel free to email me at matrixsynth@gmail.com and I will make sure you are covered. If you do sign up be sure to bring everything you might need including power supplies, cables, and speakers. We expect some noise!!!
If you are in the area on Saturday the 27th, be sure to drop by. These events are not only a great way to check out gear that you might not normally have access to, but also a great place to meet and hang out with like-minded individuals. For pics and videos from previous events see the
MMTA channel here (scroll down to get to older posts).
