Voltage Control: Understanding the Transistor

Learn how transistors enable voltage control and use your oscillator to modulate the cutoff of your own handbuilt filter.
About this Event

Unlock the power of voltage control and bring your circuits to life by learning how transistors can make your oscillator and filter respond dynamically to electrical signals.

In this workshop we will explore the concept of voltage control through the lens of transistors.  We will learn how a small incoming control signal from one circuit can dynamically reshape the behavior of another circuit in real time, opening the door to expressive, playable electronics. Building on the oscillator and filter from the previous two sessions, we will apply these principles to construct a voltage controlled filter (VCF), where the filter cutoff will be modulated by our oscillator signal. No prior experience is required to participate. All components and equipment will be provided. There is no cost to attend this workshop.

This session is part of a 10 week summer workshop series led by Miles Scharff, Mark Santolucito, and David Kramer at the Computer Music Center at Columbia University. These workshops are free and open to the public.
