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!
