Design, develop and build your own electronic instrument with a Teensy board and the Teensy Audio Library 

Teensy is a small yet very powerful board with an intuitive visual environment that makes it possible to easily patch new instruments from scratch. Starting from simple tutorials, the participants will get to know the Teensy environment, learn how to design synths and effects and finally prototype their own electronic instrument on breadboards.

Program Overview
DAY 1 (4 hours) – Participants will be guided through a series of tutorials to get some familiarity with Teensy and the audio library. We’ll learn how to patch a synthesizer with the Audio System Design tool, and how to export and run the code on our Teensy board.

DAY 2 (4 hours) – In the second part of the workshop, participants will be guided through making their own synthesizer/effect. We’ll connect potentiometers, switches, pushbuttons, leds, capacitive sensors, in order to interact with the instrument. At the end of the workshop, each participant will bring home a diy electronic instrument, including a Teensy board, audio shield, various components.Outcome
