Live Synth Workshop Episode 6 Host Applies Sound-Design Lessons Across Synths

A livestream billed as "Live Synth Workshop' livestream (titled Ep. 6, February 10th/11th 2026) put a hands-on spin on recent sound-design work as the host applied lessons from a recent sound‑design series across multiple synths. The stream’s description invited viewers to "hang out, ask questions and watch the host recreate and compare lead", a fragment that landed the session between tutorial and live experiment.

The session matters because it translated studio lessons into real-time patching and comparative listening, showing how a single concept can be adapted on different hardware. Performances like this give players immediate takeaways: patch decisions, routing choices, modulation tricks, and a sense of how timbre and playability shift between analogue, digital, and modular rigs. For anyone chasing GAS or trying to make a patch portable across setups, seeing the process live offers more practical guidance than static presets.

Parallel to the livestream, a hands-on course outline emphasizes a do-it-yourself ethos in modular practice. "This hands-on activity teaches practical DIY skills, showing not only the music production side of modular world, but the DIY culture and community behind it, made of people from all parts of the spectrum between music producers and technological afficionados." The program lists a Course Start on 6th May – Introduction to the Course and Welcome! and the module heading "### Sound Synthesis Intro Seminars, May 6th – May 23th." Instructors named in the material include Stephane Lefrancois, Eugenio Petrarca aka Acrartep, and Katharina Bévand, with Verónica Mota also listed.

The syllabus and demos lean into foundational craft: "You will explore the basics of modular synthesis covering how to design sounds from scratch and start patching, understanding the following parts listed below:" and "In addition to theoretical exploration, participants will experiment with basic patching, sound design, and real-time manipulation, gaining a deeper understanding of the technical aspects and creative possibilities of modular music." Collaboration and networking are explicit goals: "Participants will have opportunities to connect with other enthusiasts fostering a supportive community and find impulses to explore new ideas."

Hands-on elements extend beyond patching. "After the workshop a live demonstration featuring the KOMA Elektronik gear will take place." The materials promise a practical payoff: "Participants will have the opportunity to witness the practical application of the instruments they are soldering, with an experimental modular set-up, using sensor sand seeing the physical world interacting with a modular system to craft unique sounds." For players who want extra one-on-one time, "Additionally, individual extracurricular booking of an individual mentoring session is possible upon request and dependent on availability before the final performance – with an extra fee of 100€ per session."

Several logistical items remain unspecified in public notes: the livestream host name, the streaming platform and exact start time, whether the February livestream is formally linked to the May course dates, and the year attached to the May schedule. Classes and Workshop Schedule still subject to change. For readers following sound-design practice, the immediate takeaway is clear: watch demonstrations that translate design concepts across gear, consider hands-on workshops for soldering and sensor-driven modular techniques, and factor the 100€ mentoring option into planning if you want guided, individual feedback. Expect organizers to publish platform, host credentials, and full schedules to complete the picture for interested participants.
