Workshop Structure

Assembling and Soldering

We’ll kick off with 1-2 hours of assembling and soldering the components for your Touch2. You’ll dive into the architecture of this innovative instrument with no prior experience required. We’ll provide all the tools and materials. You’ll even get to flash some code and bring your Touch2 to life.

Jamming and Learning the Instruments

Once your Touch2 is built, it’s time to jam! In the next 1-2 hours, you’ll explore live playing with Touch Bass, String, and FX, experimenting with open-source instruments from the Synthux community. Get ready for an electrifying session.

No Experience Required

Soldering can feel daunting, but don’t worry! We’ve designed our instruments to be beginner-friendly, and our team will provide hands-on guidance to make sure you succeed. All tools are provided, and we’ll be there to help every step of the way.

What to Bring?

Soldering Iron

If you’re opting for the kit without the Pinecil 2, please bring your own soldering iron.

Other Tools

We’ll provide essentials like solder and pliers, but feel free to bring your own if you prefer!

Computer

We’ll handle the firmware flashing for you, but if you want to bring your own computer, go ahead! It’s not required.

Portable Speakers

For the jam session, having your own speaker would be awesome. Just make sure it has an audio input and bring a mini-jack cable to connect your Touch2.
