During this workshop participants will learn key techniques for putting together a complete electronic music and audio-synthesis workflow inside TouchDesigner through the use and study of several pre-built components. These will include midi sequencers, a polyphonic synthesizer, a drum-machine and sampler as well as various audio effects.Once participants are familiar with some of these basics, they will be given time to coordinate the development of an audiovisual jam/performance using these components and added functionalities.
