SimSam 2
from 4ms Pedals
4:00PM - 5:00PM
$25

The SimSam (Simple Sampler) is a glitchy sample-rate cruncher, hacking an AVR chip to demonstrate a cheap wavetable sampler/playback. It's both a weird pitch shifting effect with an input and output jack, as well as a feedback-looped noise-maker instrument in its own right.

Mini Space Rockers
from eric archer
6:00PM - 7:00PM
$25

This four-transistor pushbutton percussion synthesizer is minimal and versatile. There are 3 capacitors that define the circuit's frequency, pitch envelope, and decay time. Workshop participants choose one of 25 'flavors' for their Mini Space Rocker, with names like Pak-Man (hi pitched gobbling of dots), Gabbabass (grimy acid bass drop), and Space Hawk (cosmic sound of lazer bird descending on victim). Schematic, partslist, and perfboard layout can be viewed at the Mini Space Rockers URL.
