Synthesizer New Zealand presents: All Methods of Synthesis on the Graphic VCO with Ģirts Ozoliņš (Erica Synths CEO & Visionary)

Ever wondered how every major sound synthesis technique evolved – and how they all live inside a single Eurorack module today?

Join us for an exclusive deep-dive workshop where Ģirts Ozoliņš, the mastermind behind Erica Synths, unpacks the full history and toolbox of synthesis methods… using the Erica Synths Graphic VCO.

From classic analog subtractive and FM, through additive and wavetable magic, to wild digital tricks like wavefolding, bitcrushing, ring mod, and custom-drawn waveforms – you’ll see (and hear) how their modules can embody decades of synth evolution. Hands-on patching, live demos, and plenty of “aha!” moments guaranteed.

Whether you’re a modular newbie wanting to level up, a seasoned patcher chasing new sounds, or just love synth history, this is a rare chance to learn directly from one of the most influential figures in modern Eurorack.

Details:

• Date: Saturday 28 February 2026
• Time: 8pm start
• Venue: Il Brutto, 27 Victoria Street East, Auckland CBD
• Entry: FREE! (but spaces limited – RSVP required)

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and meet Girts. Expect an intimate, inspiring night in Auckland’s underground electronic hub.

RSVP now to secure your spot – see you in the patchbay!
