Build a mini-synthesizer with Arduino Nano!

Learn the basics of soldering and coding to make sound with a small microprocessor

EM-Tronic is an open-source DIY project by Brian McNamara, a super simple Arduino powered noise maker. It's easy to build and only requires a few parts. This little synth allows you to control frequency, modulation and the waveform of the sound.

Once the basic version of the instrument will be ready, we’ll learn how to mess up with the code using an AI assistant. You will be able to realize the instrument you dream of!

No prior experience is necessary, and you don’t need to bring any tools or materials. You’ll build and take home your own synth by the end of the session!
