Music Thing Modular: Workshop System workshop | 29 April 2026

We were delighted to welcome Music Thing Modular’s Tom Whitwell to our Glasgow showroom recently for an evening exploring his Workshop System - a compact, self-contained modular synthesiser in a portable case. Tom is the brains behind the classic Turing Machine and a host of other brilliant DIY modules. If you’ve heard any of his regular appearances on the Why We Bleep podcast, you’ll know he’s full of fascinating ideas about the worlds of electronic music and instrument design, so this was a cracking evening for anyone even vaguely interested in synths. Tom chatted about the design process for the Workshop System, showed some example patches and discussed its unique Computer module - which is now also available standalone - as well as answering questions from the audience.
