Join us at Rocky Mountain Synthesizer Meet #165 to sample the unique sounds of the Junkyard Social Club at sunset, build creative patterns, and perform your sonic creations live after dark.

Whether you're bringing a sampler or just want to mingle with fellow synth and electronic music enthusiasts, come enjoy the unique atmosphere while savoring small bites and drinks from the Junkyard Social Club café and bar.

🎒 What to Bring

Bring any battery-powered sampling tool: an iPad or phone with sampling apps (Koala, Samplr, Loopy Pro, Ableton Note) or battery-powered hardware samplers with built-in mics (Ableton Move, SP-404, Teenage Engineering, Dirtywave M8, etc.). Bring headphones and whatever cable you need to connect a 1/4" stereo pair to our Zoom L6max mixer.

🌅 The Evening Flow

We'll kick off with a hands-on workshop covering Koala Sampler, one of the most accessible and affordable samplers available at just $4.99 for iOS and Android. No experience necessary!

After the workshop, we'll head outside to sample the Junkyard's acoustic treasures at golden hour. Then return inside to craft your patterns and, if you are up for it, perform your creations to a supportive and friendly audience in an after-dark jam session.
