In this make and take workshop, the instructor will demonstrate his musical instruments, and then show participants how to hook things up, upload code, and download, install, and use a free MIDI editor to do pretty much the same thing.

The instructor will provide one +5V 10A power supply, twenty floppy drives, some 3-in and 12-in hookup wire (M-M, M-F, F-F assortment), One Teensy ++ 2.0. If participants want to assemble their own to keep, please bring floppy drives, +5V PSU, power wiring (~18-22 AWG), hookup wiring (20-26 AWG), terminals, crimper, terminal housings, box to carry floppy drives in their performance orientation. The instructor also suggests a Teensy 3.6 already prepared to accept connections to pins.

Once you are registered, a tutorial site and YouTube Channel on this process will be provided. The website has download links to MIDI files to play.

The workshop will be held in the classroom at Makersmiths-Leesburg. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the event will be held to no more than three participants and instructor. Social distancing and wearing of a mask are required. Please wipe down the surface of tables and items used with the sanitation supplies provided by Makersmiths.
