Introduction to Audio Synthesis with Machine Learning

Led by Allan Pichardo

In this workshop, we will cover the basic intuition behind the variational autoencoder–a basic generative model. We will use a variety of synth samples as training data and use the final trained decoder to output a range of random wav files of unique sounds that can be used in a sampler or DAW.

Intro to Livecoding with ORCA

Led by Maxwell Neely-Cohen

Join Maxwell Neely-Cohen for a tutorial on using esoteric programming language ORCA to sequence and generate music.
