Hello all! My name's Evan, and I'm starting development on an idea I had a few years ago. The Synharmonium is a microcontroller-based synthesizer with control elements based on the accordion and the Suzuki Omnichord, and an algorithm to solve the centuries old musical problem of versatile just intonation. Best case, this could have a huge impact on how western music is written and performed. Worst case, its a fun and easy synthesizer you can build at home.

But right now its not much more than an idea and a janky keyboard prototype. I am a student of computer engineering, and I have a non-zero amount of programming skill, but I tend to make stupid mistakes that I can't easily spot. I need someone who's good at programming, has some spare time, and finds this idea interesting, to help me get the software side of the instrument going. If you can become a major contributor, I'd love to have you, but if you can just help me find one boneheaded mistake I will be extremely grateful, because I'm pretty stuck at the moment.

is it the issue on github mentioning not being able to read the switch matrix? if so, have you tried to read the io pins yourself without an additional library to see if they do as you would have expected?
