Helsinki Synthetic is a non-profit event for everyone interested in synthesizers, electronic music and meeting likeminded people.
Helsinki Synthetic 2019 takes place on Saturday, 18th of May, at Kellohalli in Teurastamo, Helsinki, from 11.00 to 18.00. The event is free of charge and everyone is welcome.
Bring your synths, drum machines, samplers or modulars for others to try out and check out the cool gear on display, both from individuals and our sponsors.
