Synthesizers can be mysterious instruments and it can be hard to know why they make the noises they do. I played several for years, but did not truly understand them until I started using modular synths. This workshop will begin to demystify synthesis, give you some hands-on experience with a modular synth, and direct you towards resources to continue the journey on your own. 

After leaving the workshop you will be able to:

- Explain what modular synthesis is and how synths generate sound

- Name many of the waveforms used in synthesis

- Use an envelope and explain what it is

- Describe modulation sources and ways we can use them

- Create a patch and jam with it
