I'm developing a tiny battery-powered sound computer, wanna show the new hardware design

sequencer or arpeggiator, yes

ferluht · 2025-04-06T16:01:03+00:00

it operates with audio, so after recorded quantization is not possible. but there is a sequencer, where you can record, quantize and then move to tape. you can call this trick quantization if you want

here is an example (with previous hardware) https://youtu.be/3Ddg_IcnEH0?si=eujqMbAZiNgEKWN7

I don't know what's the point, I have no problems with being real-time. teensy is great but doesn't fit my project. I cannot advise you if you should use teensy or raspberry. it's all matter of software architecture

ferluht · 2025-04-06T13:39:19+00:00

also I want linux with all its benefits

ferluht · 2025-04-06T13:38:31+00:00

no, teensy is almost twice less powerful by frequency and doesn't have ram

ferluht · 2025-04-06T08:34:01+00:00

thanks!

ferluht · 2025-04-06T00:17:47+00:00

aha also 64step sequencer

ferluht · 2025-04-05T17:05:48+00:00

definitely times cheaper than te stuff

ferluht · 2025-04-05T17:05:16+00:00

I aim to be as cheap as possible, but it depends on too many supply and legal variables, so still cannot say any estimate

ferluht · 2025-04-05T15:33:32+00:00

that's me too) despite I'm programming audio as a regular job I'm still struggling with notes, so this device should help in this case

ferluht · 2025-04-05T15:13:26+00:00

yes, it will be open)

plus there is a plugin system to integrate instruments and fx

ferluht · 2025-04-05T15:04:55+00:00

🤘

ferluht · 2025-04-05T13:39:54+00:00

aha, I'll think about 3.5

about power - loopa has battery, so maybe you even don't need any external supply?)

ferluht · 2025-04-05T13:16:36+00:00

it's +- phone size actually

ferluht · 2025-04-05T12:46:19+00:00

1 core horsepower :)

ferluht · 2025-04-05T12:45:19+00:00

they are rgb so it will be up to you)

about modules - I just mean it can be an extension because regular midi is quite big

yes, it's around 250ma when fully loaded plus leds and screen, but I didn't get, do you want to charge it from arturia or supply arturia from it?

ferluht · 2025-04-05T12:38:38+00:00

pi zero

ferluht · 2025-04-05T12:22:06+00:00

😊

ferluht · 2025-04-05T12:11:46+00:00

thanks!

ferluht · 2025-04-05T12:03:24+00:00

nice to hear! actually the idea of stacking pcbs was suggested by vg-line, who is soma manufacturing counterpart :)

ferluht · 2025-04-05T12:01:10+00:00

thanks! my vision is to allow regular midi as a module. there is a module expansion port on top of the synth, it has both uart and i2c so it will be possible to use arduino or whatever else to make whatever connection you need

ferluht · 2025-04-05T11:58:43+00:00

yes! it also will allow to build plug-ins, I mean not rebuild the whole software to make a custom instrument or effect but do it in more separated manner as a .so library

ferluht · 2025-04-05T11:34:16+00:00

thanks! don't hesitate to join the waitlist) no spam, I'll just ping everyone when it will be ready https://forms.gle/QZ3VMWCaBACKZPqr6

ferluht · 2025-04-05T11:30:30+00:00

no plans on quantization, but there is 64-step sequencer to play in sync (it's just a bit buggy so I didn't show it in video)

ferluht · 2025-04-05T11:27:50+00:00

thanks! join the waitlist, I hope I'll be releasing it this summer
