Bought a new Raspberry Pi 4 I'm going to try and turn it into...

A synth ala an Organelle (since ORAC runs on it) and or an audio or midi portable DAW.

I'll be posting results and failures here.

Fortunately, since i'm not LInux super user, there are several hardware and software advances that will assist me.

Wish me luck.

  • I do wish you luck and fun for sure!
    I'm very interested in that subject 👍🏼

  • @Samu beat me to it :lol:

    @audiblevideo this is a bit more complex (I guess) but its on my to-do list

    Its a raspberry Pi project based on the OP-1

  • Project pics!


  • I still have some components that are on the way, and I have to buy a decent soldering iron and some accessories.

    While this project definitely saves me some money, I doubt I will ever complain again about how much a nice piece of we’ll designed equipment or software costs.

    All these little fiddle bits each individually designed (albeit not specifically for just this one purpose), the knowledge to put it all together, along with the software programming is not trivial.

    I’m blazing no trails, just a monkey trying to put a machine together following instructions ;)

    Documentation to follow. This is the project. I also need to source a case (preferably not acrylic — but I’d settle for it if everything else is prohibitive)

  • @audiblevideo very cool! Excited to see the outcome

  • Good Luck!!

    I’ll be watching for the posts as I am always interested in doing Pi music projects, but always stop because it’s a lot of work and tinkering around. I did the Samplerbox a while back but just loaded the software in it and didn’t build an enclosure. I just have a Pi 2 and probably should upgrade to a Pi 4 at some point.

    Well the great things about the pi is the old ones can be put into service for other projects. Put Pi hole on the old one and get the 4B 4 or 8GB model. It’s “almost” a desktop computer at this point. Really the only thing missing For true desktop computing is ARM compiled software and decent utilities that don’t require faffing around with the command line. It will be interesting to see the software possibly expand down to the Linux ARM SBCs as Apple makes its transition to ARM.

  • @audiblevideo so what is it you’re building? That’s cool. I just use the pi as a video game emulator running retropie, but at some point i want to use it to run the x32 editor. This looks cool though!

  • I have several Pis, two 3Bs, two 3As, and a 2B. All of them except the 2B (which is currently in a Raspberry Pi Official touchscreen running Raspberry Pi os but doing nothing yet) are running MotionEyeOs and have cameras on. The two 3As are looking out to the road, have cheap Chinese v1 cams (a v2 gives no advantage for video) (they both arrived focused for really close for some reason – easy to adjust though). The two 3Bs each have a new Raspberry Pi High Quality camera on (the new one with bigger sensor and a C-mount thread). I’m trying out various lenses, cheap CCTV ones (which are invariably crap) and a vintage Cine Taylor Hobson (which is gorgeous) and they’re just in here testing pointing at me. MotionEyeOs is really good.

  • I also have an ASUS Tinker Board, which is running Debian running a web server (nginx) for some of my work stuff.

  • I feel for those abandoned Pi boards and I'm also interested in projects that work well on older ones. One of the best, rather easy to build ones is a playback sampler (ROMpler) that can play samples directly off the SD card and supports both key and velocity range mapping.
    @DMan already mentioned it, so for completeness sake here's the link:

    Thanks to their forum, a lot of issues could be resolved in the past so it's a rather stable project now.

  • Tracktion Waveform looks like a good option for a Pi DAW.

  • I would like a raspberry pi mini MAME retro arcade game cabinet.

    I could play Scramble for hours! Assuming I had any hours I could spend playing scramble.

    Which I don’t.

    Ha. Talked myself out of it.

  • Anyone make Zynthian? I’ve been eyeing that project for a bit

    Wow, looks amazing! And I always enjoyed working with Mackie Tracktion in the old days.

    Tracktion is something I’ve looked at. There’s also LMMS, Seq24 (now something else), Ardour, and more.

  • edited September 2020

    Made the mistake of getting another project started before the first was finished... only a technicality though since I’m still waiting for a few parts.

    This one is Arduino Teensy based.
    From here

    The kit looks like this

  • Pusherman

    We have finished processing your order.

    [ORDER #◼️◼️◼️◼️] (17/04/2021)

    Metal case for Fates Shield X 1 = £34.99

  • Good luck. In the end how much do you think it’s going to all cost? I hope you are good at soldering. It looks like you can’t get PCBs anymore.

    I’m guessing that since you ordered a case that you have finished the project?

    Somewhere between 300 - 400 USD

    $60 for the Pi (4B w 4GB)
    $200 Board and parts
    $50 Case
    Under $130 soldering iron and supplies

    I’m amortizing the cost of the soldering supplies across several projects so 🙄

    Good thing is there’s good support through the lines forum and his GitHub page (YouTube as well)

    Starting to solder this week 😅
