First Synth Jam Night will be
Tuesday Aug 18, 2026 from 7-10pm.
Group synth jam night with synthesizers, effects, and drum machines!
What is Synth Jams?
2-4 person synth jams. One person runs a drum machine and master clock, 1-3 others will join. We’ll rotate through about every 15 minutes.
Each Player will have:
- Synth
- Keyboard/Sequencer
- Mixer
- FX
We have synths and mixers and effects to jam with but feel free to bring your own, just make sure it’s something you can plug and play with. You should be able to plug into a power strip and the mixer and be ready to roll.
Make a Synth Jam a Quest…
Use game dice to determine the song structure:
- Key of the song
- Tempo of the song
- Style (House, Techno, Breaks, Electro, Motorik, Etc)
- Parts
- Drones or Pads
- Sequences
- Bass Lines
- Special Effects
Depending on how many people show up, we will rotate through every 1-2 songs (10-15 minute jams).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do i need to bring a synth to Synth Jam Night?
We will have house synths to use. You can bring a rig if it is simple to plug in and sync up. We want to keep the night moving which is why we’re providing the mixers and FX to use.
Do I need to know how to play piano?
You should already be somewhat familiar with the basics of synths and feel comfortable in a jam environment. If you’re not sure reach out to us, we offer lessons that can get you up to jamming speed in a couple of months!
Why a synth jam night?
Because it’s way more fun to jam with other people. You may even find people to form your own band with.
Can only 3 people attend the synth jam night?
Come hang out! We rotate through so everyone gets a chance to jam. Using game dice will keep the night random and unexpected.
