.......dorkbotpdx is proud to announce.......
A unique, free workshop geared at teaching sound synthesis fundamentals as explored and demonstrated through Pure Data.
Fascinated by orgies of towering analog synthesizes from the 60s? Mesmerized by how computers can generate sound that offends and elates? In this causal yet intense session, we will cover the basics of audio signal theory while exploring the common techniques and tricks used by sound designers and synth builders.
We will progressively cover theories/techniques from the ground up, so no formal experience is required. We will make some noise.
When?
