DESCRIPTION:People doing strange things with electricity!\n\nAlong with the
  usual freewheeling chaos\, the quick talks continue this month with Jim S
 now\, presenting "Designing and building the Mosaichord\, an expressive mu
 sic keyboard for just intonation.":\nThe Mosaichord is an expressive MIDI 
 controller/synthesizer designed around a musical scale with 28 notes per o
 ctave\, where the frequencies of all the notes are related to each other b
 y whole number ratios\, to enable better consonances and more varied disso
 nances than can be achieved in the 12-tone equal tempered scale. Internall
 y\, the Mosachord uses force-sensitive resistors under the keys and is con
 trolled by a Teensy 4.0 microcontroller.\n\nDorkbotPDX is a relaxed\, info
 rmal show-and-tell for electronic artists\, circuit designers\, microcontr
 oller programmers\, retro computing enthusiasts\, video game designers\, d
 igital archaeologists\, and mod synth gearheads in Portland\, Oregon.\n\nB
 ring your electronic wonders\, monsters\, and works-in-progress for others
  to see\, or come see what others have been working on! Whether it's code 
 or circuits\, electronic creativity of all sorts is welcome here.\n\nTable
  space with power will be available for project show-and-tell\; we'll have
  a table for drinks and snacks\, feel free to contribute to the communal c
 ache/BYOB. The Free cart is back\, take or leave some components (don’t 
 leave TOO much\, if you have big stuff\, maybe check the Discord/mailing l
 ist to see if anyone is interested in taking it first!)\n\nInfo and links 
 to our Discord and other social channels are at https://dorkbotpdx.org\n\n
