The Applied Research & Technology Series (ARTS) is pleased to announce the second of three presentations on MIDI. In December 2012 ARTS explored MIDI-based applications and concepts such as controlled drum synthesis, sequencing, and sampling.

Tom Moxon, an experienced MIDI instrument design engineer, will explore MIDI protocol design and development history, technical operation, and MIDI master/slave relationships. Tom Moxon will share his personal design and development experience creating commercial MIDI instrument products.

Participation: Attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite electronic music tracks and discuss what makes them great. Questions and ideas should be directed to the meeting organizer.

Light refreshments will be served. Free parking at OHSU on Saturdays. The venue is served by TriMet. Plan your trip at trimet.org. UHS8B60 is located one floor down from the main OHSU lobby. Sound system with 3.5mm stereo mixing inputs will be provided.

Note: If you want to present video content, please contact the meeting organizer at least one week in advance of the presentation. Attendance is free and open to all ages. Preregistration is appreciated. Participation: Attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite electronically synthesized music tracks and participate in shared listening experiences before and after the main speaker's presentation. Knowledge of how the tracks were created could be an interesting complement. Web/Youtube access should be available at the meeting. Questions, ideas can be directed to meeting organizer.

Refreshments will be served. Free parking at OHSU on Saturdays. UHS8B60 is located in the University Hospital South building on the 8th floor. It is inside the hospital building west of the Emergency Ambulance entrance. Sound system with 3.5mm stereo mixing inputs will be provided.

The Applied Research & Technology Series (ARTS) is proud to extend an open invitation to Studying the Art of MIDI, Part 3: Crafting Analog & Digital Audio using Synthesis & Sampling. The presenter will share the fundamentals, technology, and applications behind his topics. This is the third of three workshops to educate and explore the technologies behind electronic music production.

Light refreshments will be provided. Attendance is free and open to all ages. Please register at Website above.

Venue is served by Trimet. Plan your trip at trimet.org.

The presenter: Tom Moxon is the founder of Moxon Design, an electronics design consulting organization. He has designed integrated circuits for a number of client companies including Cray Research, Adobe Systems, Hewlett Packard, Silicon Graphics, Rohm, and Hyundai Electronics. He was also on the design team of the Emulator II Sampling Keyboard for EMU Systems in the early 1980's.

Event Sponsors: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Oregon Instrumentation & Measurement Society (IEEE IMS) Dedicated to the development and use of electrical and electronic instruments and equipment to measure, monitor and/or record physical phenomena.

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Oregon Control Systems Society (IEEE CSS): An international scientific, engineering, and professional organization was founded in 1954 and is dedicated to the advancement of research, development, and practice in automation and control systems.

IEEE IMS/CSS societies and MIDI User Group Portland (MUGPDX, formerly ARTS) are continuing a series of free community events related to MIDI technology and applications.

Bryan Bell will present on music technology old and new as well as music and video production:

COME BE IN OUR STUDIO AUDIENCE!!! Taping starts at 2 sharp.

Karaoke Research Council is a medium-silly TV show devoted to showing off Portlanders who are using the arts and/or technology to increase human connection in cool ways. And, of course, Karaoke research.

Karl Anderson and Elijah St. Clair of Futel join Ross live in Studio A to discuss and demonstrate their DIY telephone company Futel. Futel's been putting up free pay phones around town that are more than they appear. Check 'em out at http://futel.net/

Musical guest is The Occupant. With a sound that is simultaneously engrossing, abstract, and playful, The Occupant promises to confuse and delight. Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/shane-mcdonell

PLUS: -We'll continue our research into next-generation Karaoke with a new online demo of singalong.js that you can play at home with your friends

🔊 Welcome to WebAudioPDX 🔊

We're here to build a conversation and collaborate with people in Portland (and abroad) who're interested in Web Audio! 

Our first few meetups have been organizational & focused on gathering a core group of awesome individuals who're excited to build meaningful projects together. In October we’re continuing to trend towards learning together, getting active, and are connecting with the folks who implement Web Audio itself!

This month we couldn’t be more excited to welcome Hongchan Choi, who'll be sharing the magic of the AudioWorklet with us!

Hongchan is implementing Web Audio for Google Chrome around the clock, and actively develops the Web Audio API specification itself as a member of the W3C Audio Working Group.

In addition, he’s been building incredible projects like Omnitone (Spatial Audio Rendering on the Web), powerful prototyping tools, and is paving the way for Web Audio to be how we interact with and enjoy sound across the Web.

Here's what he'll be sharing with us this month:

🔊⚡️🔊⚡️🔊

AudioWorklet - "What, Why and How-to"

Summary: "What is AudioWorklet and why do we need it?" To answer this question, the context and background of AudioWorklet project will be discussed. In the later part, the advantage of AudioWorkletNode over ScriptProcessorNode will be presented with the hands-on demo. Also the talk is followed by several topics around AudioWorklet such as thread priority, garbage collection and WASM.

🔊⚡️🔊⚡️🔊

Have a project to share?
Bring your current projects to share and get everyone stoked about them! If you have a demo you'd like to share–we'd love to see it! We hope to help each other out with encouragement, code, and helpful feedback.

Are you a musician?
If you're a musician and not a programmer, and are interested in the internet of music and/or music tech, please come join us! We'd really love to talk with you and share perspectives!

🎉 See you there! 🎉

Missed the last couple meetups? No prob. These docs will get you up to speed! :D
