Oh and here’s a new Thingamagoop 2 video.

Kit- $25

The PicoPaso is a stepped tone noise noise synth by Dr. Bleep.
It’s similar to the Atari Punk synth, aka Forrest Mims’ stepped tone generator, but uses two triangle wave oscillators that can be combined or used separately. A wave shaper and square wave LFO can be used to increase the aural ridiculousness.

The kit was designed for Handmade Music Austin and will be the beginner workshop for our fifth event on February 28th.There are still some seats available if you’d like to sign up for the advanced class, Wooster’s Space Baby digital delay.

Check out the FAQ and sign up for Handmade Music Austin here.

If your cant come this Sunday, you can purchase the PicoPaso here.
