little-scale Square Sounds Melbourne Arduino Workshop - March 29, 2014
Dr. little-scale proudly presents a beginners' workshop to Arduino!
The Arduino is a handy little hardware board that lets you easily send
data to and from the physical world, as well as a wide variety of other
functions - and it's super easy to get into.
This session will cover the basics of the Arduino, including how to get started and an introduction to programming the board. Additionally, topics that are of interest to electronic musicians will be covered, including how to build your very first MIDI controller, and use it with your favourite music software platform.
Participants are asked to bring along their laptops to the session. This workshop costs $55 per participant, with Arduino boards, cables and sensors all provided as part of the workshop - and you get to keep them after!
Places are limited. Book yours at http://www.trybooking.com/EENE.

Expressions of Interest: Synth Building Workshop - Early 2014 in Adelaide
We're considering organising a 'Modular Synth - Electronic Building Workshop' with Elijah Vartto in early 2014 (possible dates: Feb 10 to 21).
The workshop would be run in 3-hour sessions over 5 days (after hours) (15 hours in total) and would involve building your own synth (similar vein to http://tinyurl.com/weirdsynth) with demonstrations and support by Elijah Vartto.
The workshop would cost around $150 per person with parts synth parts included in the price (students would have to provide their own case)."
If you are interested, can commit the time and money, please let me know at: sebastian.tomczak@adelaide.edu.au
Places are limited so first in best dress.
More Detail from Elijah:
-----------
I have worked on building electronic analogue instruments and modular synths, from PCB (printed circuit board) kits, in bursts of enthusiasm ever since joining the VICMOD group in Melbourne in 2006-7. VICMOD are an active group of modular synth building aficionados that meet monthly on a Sunday; affectionately termed 'Nerd Club' by some participants, it involves a lot of exchange of ideas and show and tell, bringing all kinds of built and bought instruments such as the AKS-synthi, loads of vintage synths, Doepfer modules and many more.
It was at these meetings that I was shown a glorious instrument built rather modestly into a VCR video case. It was a Weird Sound Generator, built from the Music From Outer Space designed kit. The beauty of the instrument is that it is a stand alone instrument not requiring a plethora of synth modules before a sound of real 'timbre' could be produced. This was rich, possessing six oscillators, two of which are designated to modulate with two other oscillator voices, all subject to the flick of more than one switch. In addition to this modulating aspect, it has a 'Low Pass Filter' with resonance built in. I then went on to build my own in addition to the other modular synth units through VICMOD.
In the course of living abroad I conducted a workshop on building the WSG through Plektrum Festival in Estonia in 2009. Approximately 12 people participated and all finished with a working instrument at the end. This despite the majority having never picked up a soldering iron. I fixed mistakes of soldering, and coached them to successfully complete their instruments.
For this workshop proposed in February, all electronic components, wiring and PCB will be provided, with guidance from myself on techniques of soldering and construction. The novice and naive should not be afraid. A great working instrument with a rich diversity of sonic qualities will be the result, and a realisation that building your own instrument is not the arcane art-form you might have first thought. The only consideration you must make is how would you like to enclose the instrument? Here you can be creative, functional, fancy or modest. VCR case, lunchbox, shoe-box, cigar box, cookie tin, teddy bear, these can all work, or if you like make your own box.

Presented by: little-scale
Session Running Time: Approximately 2 hours
Time: 12:30 - 14:30
Get ready for funtimes! Join Dr. little-scale as he presents a hands-on workshop - on how to build and use your very own USB MIDI sound chip module!

Come And Build A SEGA MIDI Interface With Me At Blip Festival Australia!
Presented by: little-scale
Session Running Time: Approx 120 minutes
Venue: Fitzroy Library 128 Moor Street, Fitzroy (Town Hall)
Join Dr. little-scale in this exciting, world-first workshop that will go through how to construct and use a SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis MIDI Interface! The SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis MIDI interface allows for writing music using the sound chips from a SEGA console via a computer with a USB port and modern music sequencing software. Participants will solder their own SEGA MIDI interfaces (which they get to keep after the event!), followed by a short beginner's session on how to sequence music for the SEGA Mega Drive using the constructed interfaces.
Participants are asked to bring along:
• A laptop with appropriate music software (this may include packages like Ableton Live, Logic, ProTools etc). If you are not sure if your particular music software package is suitable, please ask us!
Optional
• A SEGA Mega Drive / Genesis (if possible), and a way to connect the sound output from the console to your computer via an audio connection
• Soldering Tools.
We will have limited numbers of these available to use at the workshop, and participants will be able to share with other attendees.
This workshop is very exclusive and numbers are strictly limited - so book early to avoid massive emotional devastation.
Due to the nature of this workshop, a small fee of $50 is required to cover the necessary parts. Previous basic soldering experience would be advantageous for this workshop, but is not required. Likewise, some experience with some sort of music sequencing software would also be beneficial.

"Bent But Not Broken" Workshop Wrap Up and Pictures
The "Bent But Not Broken" workshop was held last night as part of the Format Festival on Peel Street. The event was very successful, with an overcapacity crowd that was enthusiastic and seemed to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
The workshop was divided into two main parts. The first half focused on chipmusic - specifically, the Game Boy music sequencer Little Sound DJ (LSDJ) written by Johan Kotlinksi. I supplied a total of 8 Game Boy / Game Boy Advance / Nintendo DS units so that participants were able to experience the software when running on some form of hardware. A number of people also brought along laptops in order to emulate the Game Boy and run LSDJ.
Although it was clear that not everyone was from a musical background, people were able to get some interesting beats and phrases out of the obsolete video game consoles, and as such get a feel for composing Game Boy music.
The second half of the workshop centered around circuit bending. Participants were given a number of sound-making toys, and told to find bending spots that changed the sound. Although in almost all cases, the only bends available on the cheap, microblob toys in question were of the speed / pitch / sample rate / clock rate type, everyone had a go at seeing how far these toys could be pushed.
It was clear that people had a good time experiencing and experimenting with the practical side of circuit bending. The fact that the art can have such an immediate and direct outcomes makes it suitable for workshop situations. Various participants even started with cross-device loops and feedback modulations, which showed their interest in circuit bending.
I want to thank everyone that came along for making the night a resounding success. I would also like to thank Simon and the Format Collective crew for making the this workshop possible and able run as smoothly and as successfully as it did.
More pictures can be found here.

Participants will pull apart and repurpose noisy children's toys as manic music machines and discover the possibilities of chipmusic with an introductory course of composition for Game Boy.
This event is supported by the Helpmann Academy.
For more information regarding this workshop, please email seb.tomczak@gmail.com.
Date: 11 March, 2010 - 6pm to 8pm
Venue: The McKeague Space, 15 Peel Street, Adelaide
Ages: All ages
Cost: $10 (you get to keep any circuit bent toys!)
Experience Needed: None
What to bring: Nothing. Laptops would be helpful but not necessary.
