  • Intro into modular synthesis: (exists in both, analogue and digital form)
    Several modules, that are not hardwired totgether.
    Each module does (not allways) one task only - but does that very good.
    In-, outputs allow to interface several modules.
  • Soldering / testing of the "Meergranen" module.
  • Flashing different presets with onto the Arduino
  • Designing and lasercutting the first custom frontpanel



Custom sample selection (to be continued):

  • Listening sessions with the purpose of learning how to talk about sound
  • Hunting interesting sounds and writing a description of them
  • Inventing a new word to describe the sound: "knüsprichtlic" (engl.: "crunchdenseyficial")
  • learning musical vocabulary (pitch, frequency, timbre, overtone, metrics,...)
  • Exercise: sorting given abstract soundfiles into categories and naming them
