> As a part of the ongoing Arduino Cult Induction workshop series, this
> month we will be focusing on sound.
>
> In particular I will be going over creating sound using the Arduino's
> built in Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Direct Digital Synthesis
> using resistive ladders. We will investigate using the Piezo element
> as both a simple speaker and an input trigger. We will review the
> Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) from a hardware and
> software perspective, and  look at a couple of useful integrated
> circuits (the lm324 and the lm368).
>
> The workshop will cost $25 and participants will recieve a complete
> midi interface board for the dorkboard/arduino and a piezo element
> which will be used to create a midi drum trigger.
> Participants will also take with them parts for an r2r ladder, an op
> amp and an audio amp capable of driving small speakers or headphones.
>
> Participants should leave the workshop with a better understanding of
> how micro-controllers such as the Arduino can be used to create and
> control sound, they should have built at least one working musical
> controller and they should have the foundations for several sound
> related projects.
>
> Please bring your dorkboard, rbba, or other arduino compatible board,
> a soldering iron or breadboard, and a laptop.
>
> The workshop will be held at PNCA (NW 12th and Johnson) in room 205
> from 1-5pm on Sunday, November 30.
