Full details on Switched On Facebook.

"Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 4:00pm until Monday, February 27, 2012 at 2:00am

An all day bring your own synth party and then later in the night...
Pat A. Physics
The Synth Freq
Pailo
God's Gun

Djs: Veronica Ortuno & Malcolm Elijah

FREE/ALL AGES
29th St. Ballroom

For 2 years Switched On has provided the Austin community and beyond with
rare and boutique electronic instruments, gear repair, electronic music events, and all the nuts and bolts in between. So naturally an all day party is in order!

Beginning at 4PM we will begin the 7th Annual Austin Analog Synth Party! (7AAASP)

7 years ago Chad Allen (Switched On owner) founded the tradition of once a year inviting synthesis practitioners and enthusiasts to bring their prized analog synthesizers and come play under one roof. We encourage you to show off what you have & get to know your neighbors!

IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE:
Please bring a pair of headphones and a keyboard stand! Also any printed text/media is welcome to be displayed if you have a particularly rare or unique synthesizer. All forms of analog keyboards, modular equipment, drum machines, video synthesizers (must provide your own screen), noise machines, etc. are welcome!"

Atari Video Music

via this auction

"This is a limited edition video music modified by Switched On Music Electronics in Austin Texas. Switched On modified 10 of these last year, adding a composite video output (NTSC), 1/4" audio inputs and outputs, a fuzz output (audio from the Atari's built-in distortion circuit=insane FUZZ), and waveform mixer controls for the comparator. With the mods, the Video Music can function as a video synthesizer with no audio input at all--this gives you quite a bit of control over color and shape. It is difficult to achieve this sort of functionality without spending thousands on new LZX system."

Switched On Presents Solderless Breadboarding Workshop

"Presented by Switched On School of Music Electronics & Delptronics

Learn the art of basic electronic design, walk home with knowledge and something to play with!

Tuesday, October 25 at 7:00pm
At Switched On Music Electronics
1111 E. 11th Street, Austin, TX

About the workshop:

Mickey Delp of Delptronics will be leading another beginner electronics workshop on solderless breadboarding. A breadboard is a temporary circuit board used for prototyping. Electronic components simply plug into sockets on the breadboard with no soldering required. The workshop will cover the identification and function of basic electronic components, how to read a schematic circuit diagram, and how to translate a diagram into a working circuit on a breadboard. We will also discuss how to go from the breadboarded prototype to a permanent device. You will build several circuits during the workshop and you get to take home all the parts, including everything you see in the image below and more.

Come to the workshop learn how to build your own electronic musical instruments!

$20 (instruction) + $20 (for parts) = $40 total

Check out the Facebook Event Page."

"A demonstration of our set of custom modifications for the Atari Video Music video synthesizer/audiovisualizer. The modifications involve controls to glitch out and morph the output shape/pattern, a composite video output, operation as a static image synthesizer, upgraded 1/4" input and thru jacks for both audio inputs, and a distortion output (in which the guitar is run through in some of these clips.) For more information on purchasing a modified video music, or getting yours modified, please visit http://switchedonaustin.com/other-ins..."

Switched On mural

"Just finished a little 5'x10' mural with hours and services for Switched On the music electronics store in Austin USA. logo design by Lars Larson, original Wasp manual graphics by "R.V." ...it took too long to hand letter the Futura font, but I guess its in my blood, my great uncle hand painted most of the signs at the Czech Village in Cedar Rapids. You can glimpse inside the store at our Chinese "oil painting" of a TB303 also."
