Sunday May 3rd at 1pm. Todd Bailey has designed a very circuit-bendable 8 bit sampler kit. If you have some idea of what we are talking about, you’re automatically the kind of person who should come check out his talk. If you have no idea what we’re talking about, you should still come, because that’s also fun. Free.
