At Synthesizer Night, participants are encouraged to bring their own synthesizers, from vintage analog gems to cutting-edge modular wonders. It's a chance to showcase your personal setup, experiment with new equipment, and dive into the rich sonic tapestry that synthesizers offer.

For those looking to enhance the collaborative experience, consider arriving early to connect your synthesizer to a MIDI/CV clock. This allows for synchronized timing among all instruments, creating a seamless musical fusion during impromptu jam sessions.

In addition to the collaborative jam sessions, the event provides a unique opportunity for a show and tell/play with anything that attendees bring. Share your favorite gear, experiment with different setups, and engage in hands-on exploration of various synthesizers and electronic music equipment.

Whether you're a beginner seeking guidance or an expert eager to inspire others, Synthesizer Night is the perfect setting to engage in conversations, exchange knowledge, and foster a vibrant community.

Throughout the evening, you'll have the opportunity to engage in impromptu jam sessions, where the collective energy of multiple synthesizers intertwines to create awe-inspiring sounds. Experience the joy of collaborating with fellow musicians, experiment with different genres and styles, and let the unique characteristics of each instrument shape your sonic explorations.

Additionally, for those who wish to showcase their skills and perform, there will be dedicated performance slots.
