In this session we will learn about logic noise and using a 40106 hex Schmidt trigger to build a square wave synthesiser. This is aimed at beginners and is a great way to learn about different components and discover how simple it can be to start building your own sound machines.

We will explore ways to control the sound including using body resistance to make a touch sensor.

You will need to check out a breadboard from the shop for this or bring your own if you have one. You will also need to bring a 9v battery and headphones. I have removed the waitlist from this session so if you have these elements you can attend.
