It's located super close to Ohlone Park if you want to observe dogs playing outside together on your way over! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- *How to Get There* BART: 10 minute walk from Downtown Berkeley BART station Bus: 1 block from the 12, 79, 51B, 52, 604, 800, FS routes 2 blocks from the 88 route 3 blocks from the 7, 18 and F routes Parking: Street parking available, typically metered although Sundays may be free.

Designing Interfaces for Musical Devices!

Designing Interfaces for Musical Devices!

Sat, Nov 21, 9:00 PM
From Noisebridge Hackerspace
4.8

# Design and layout for musical electronic devices The topic is designing music electronics. Making your own guitar pedals, synth modules, or stand alone musical devices? Lets talk about where to put the input and output jacks, where to locate the volume control? Big knob or small knob? Are there controls you shouldn't include? Jacks on the top (someone out there knows what I'm talking about!) Does your device have a screen? All of these and more questions should be considered when designing your device. Lets discuss! Bring your work to show and talk about. I'll bring some standard parts so we can all see what they look like and how they fit together. Of course you can always bring anything you are working on and work as always!

For those of you who haven’t been, Mother Tongue is a small, woman and Latin-x owned roaster that puts out some nice coffee. We’ll be going to their cafe in Oakland to enjoy a drink. As per usual, feel free to bring beans that you’re drinking and really enjoying and a few bags if you’d like to trade some coffee with others. Can’t wait to see everyone!
