Simple interface building workshop with Ljudmila's Artist-in-Residence.

MENTOR: Dmitry Morozov ::Vtol::
LOCATION: Rampa Lab, Kersnikova 4, 1000 Ljubljana
REGISTRATION: delavnica@ljudmila.org
About the workshop
On this workshop participants will build a very simple eurorack synth module out of a computer mouse. It will basically be a module with a mini-jack input and a square-wave LFO, and you will be able to control both with the mouse buttons. So by plugging it into a computer using standard usb we can control mouse clicks from an LFO or other synth modules.
The core idea of the whole workshop is to use extremely simple tools and materials to create a very simple synth to computer interface that allows you to connect two worlds - analog synths and computers. By the end of the workshop we will be able to do a small jam session using online synths/youtube/free sound libraries.
Please bring your laptops and your own Eurorack system (if you maybe have one).
