Anyone with an interest in synthesizers, circuitbending, and general DIY electronic music is welcome!

Every meeting we gather together to experiment with circuitbending, synthesizer design, and synthesizer repair. The meeting is very informal and encourages people to bring things to work on or just hang out and talk about gear.

Bring:

  • Electronic instruments to show off and work on
