Joseph Cerimelli (aka Paillo) is one of our employees here at the Switched On shop. You can find him in here regularly and can answer just about any question you throw at him about your audio needs, new hardware, software, eurorack modules, vintage gear, etc. Aside from working with us he is a ceritified Ableton instructor and innovator, he offers bi-monthly "clinics" at the Victory Grill across the street from Switched On. Here he and others get to share concepts, address personal questions regarding Ableton, bring in guest speakers, and really just host a meeting grounds for all things Ableton and any producers wanting to get their feet wet, or delve deeper into the realm.
But thats not all he covers, when I went to go check out his class MaxMSP interfacing Ableton was being discussed. Something that really blew my mind...
The classes or "clinics" had not so much as an academic environment, but more of an afterschool club where enthusiasts could come and show off their new tricks and talk shop.
Joseph takes a few concepts within the software and really just illustrates how they can bloom into an infinite variety of personal expression. I would watch the attendees raise their eyebrows or turn their head a bit in a way where you could see the cogs turning and ideas were being formed. The 2 guest speakers featured that day brought new angles to the use of it and it sank in how truly diverse the program can be.

Joseph offers a class and learning experience that can not be found anywhere else in Austin. I highly urge anyone interested in advancing their production techniques with Ableton to check these out. Our calendar on the site lists the dates and descriptions of each event.
You can also check out Joseph's blog where he discusses Ableton, Eurorack, Livid Controllers, and more:

Solderless Breadboarding with Mickey Delp
Switched On School of Music Electronics
presents:
Learn the art of basic electronic design, walk home with knowledge and something to play with!
Facebook Event
About the class:
Mickey Delp of Delptronics will be leading another beginner electronics workshop on solderless breadboarding. A breadboard is a temporary circuit board used for prototyping. Electronic components simply plug into sockets on the breadboard with no soldering required. The workshop will cover the identification and explanation of basic electronic components, how to read a schematic circuit diagram, and how to translate a diagram into a working circuit on a breadboard. We will also discuss how to go from the breadboarded prototype to a permanent device. You will build several circuits during the workshop and you get to take home all the parts, including: a solderless breadboard, wires, capacitors, resistors, potentiometers, chips, an LED, a speaker and battery clip. Come to the workshop learn how to build your own electronic musical instruments!
$20 (instruction) + $20 (for parts) = $40 total
7:00pm • Tuesday, October 25
