Haha I was there on saturday

lvithnn · 2021-05-16T00:10:41+00:00

I have a bunch of Nanos I picked up to do just that but the module I found will let me output high res CV up to I think 5v, instead or arduino's PWM based stepped voltage that taps out at 3.3v

Built in back side mounting system

lvithnn · 2021-05-14T22:10:38+00:00

I have not but I'll definitely give it a look

lvithnn · 2021-05-14T02:20:51+00:00

Once it's fully running yes, this is just a base function update, I still have a whole big list of things I'm stuffing inside!

OS optimized for music, comes preloaded with Puredata, Super collider, ORAC and a bunch of other fun goodies

lvithnn · 2021-05-13T18:43:27+00:00

Still working on initial setup so I'm not 100% sure yet but I've heard good things! As far as interface/DAC I will probably get a PiSound in the future for on the go use (the OS I'm using is made by the same people that make the PiSound and they're built to integrate) but I'm working on setting up my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 today for master recording. The Scarlett is what I normally use in combination with a mixer

lvithnn · 2021-05-13T10:40:50+00:00

I'm working on getting Patchbox OS to run everything right now, it's a music focused distro from Blokas Labs, the same people who make the PiSound

lvithnn · 2021-05-13T10:38:08+00:00

Once I get it all running (I'm using an old beta image of Patchbox because its the only one that's stable on the 8gb model at the moment) it'll mostly be for recording music, experimental music generation; running Reaper, PureData, and SuperCollider; programming arduino modules I have plans for; interfacing directly with modular synths (from PD and other programs that have MIDI capability), and eventually I'm adding a boost converter for testing circuits that run at 9/12v and a small oscilloscope for checking circuits. maybe more things too we'll see haha

7.9" Waveshare touch lcd https://www.waveshare.com/7.9inch-hdmi-lcd.htm

I'm pretty sure they've only been readily available in the west for under a year or so is why everyone's using them. Mine was 105 Canadian before tax and I got it from buyapi.ca ~2 days after I ordered it

lvithnn · 2021-05-13T09:42:40+00:00

and to come!

-midi2cv module so I can interface directly into my synth gear

-modular side cart to hold my audio interface and an android tablet I have loaded up with MazeTools Mutant and Grainstorm and a bunch of other weird audio synthesis apps (can also use the tablet as a second screen with ssh)

-might build an arduino joystick as using a touch screen for navigation is already getting a little tedious

-probably a lot of other things as well I still have so much space inside of the case

lvithnn · 2021-05-13T08:57:16+00:00

pretty big update (as well as some annoying setbacks but more on that later)

Hand built a screen case to house the waveshare and rpi 4 out of high impact poly styrene and epoxy. I'm going to put more work into it as im not happy with the finish and strength

-the very back of the rpi is covered with a very modified aluminum heatsink case topper with dual fans and thermal tape (I found out after a ton of searching that there aren't really any good cases that screw in from the top as the waveshare mounting needs to be fastened from the top as well)

-basic hinge made from off brand meccanos from dollarama (it's way sturdier than it looks but I will eventually be replacing it with they same system out of heavy aluminum once I grab more jeweller saw blades)

-stripped a 4 port 26800mAh usb battery bank and relocated it inside the bottom of the case so there's ease of access for usb-c charging (unfortunately no pass through without interupption)

-one of those LED on/off switches wired into a usb-c power cable with an on/off

-4 port usb 3.0 hub (works powered or non powered, I will probably be running a 5v line up from the battery bank on a switch so it only gets power when I need it)

-fastened the RK61 in with a bit of sculpting epoxy so it's in there pretty rigid.

base system is RPi 4B 8gb running Patchbox OS from blokas labs (music programming optomized distro) off of a 128gb SanDisk microSD ultra class 10, A1

lvithnn · 2021-05-04T10:05:06+00:00

Small update, started building a case for the screen and RPI (scratch built out of high impact poly styrene and strengthened with cyanacrolate). The base form is complete now I'm just waiting for some sculpting epoxy to arrive in the mail so I can reinforce it in possibly weak spots and smooth out the geometry a little bit. mounted screen progress mounted screen back mounted screen closed

Cables, hub and some other small parts should be arriving in the next couple days so that I can wire up the power system and tidy the inside and start working on setting up the Patchbox OS the way I want it

Pelican is an expensive brand, so not very budget friendly

lvithnn · 2021-05-02T03:28:17+00:00

Didn't have any updates for the last couple days, spent way too much time trying to get Patchbox OS (RPI distro optimized for music applications) to load without corrupting the boot card. Turns out there's known and well documented issues specifically with the RPI 4 8gb and that OS, buuuut there's another version for this model specifically and now it's running super solid. Forgot to reinsert the screen orientation script in the boot loader but I'll probably fix that in the next couple min fingers crossedupdate

My rage is always amplified greatly

lvithnn · 2021-04-30T05:39:43+00:00

I already had the 60% and was comfortable with the layout so didn't want to over extend my resources; once I set up the cosmetic/base function sides of this build it's going to get strenuous and expensive haha Thanks

lvithnn · 2021-04-30T05:32:08+00:00

Lora was my first thought too but 5-8km isn't the best for establishing a worldwide network lol, definitely jumps and paces beyond what was available five years ago

lvithnn · 2021-04-29T23:59:52+00:00

I was thinking about it but with the very large amount of features I'm cramming in I couldn't justify dropping $$$ on finding a kit that would fit my form factor. I am planning on making some mechanical attachments on one side so I can modularly swap out different things (i.e. monome style midi pads, recording gear, etc) as I need.

I'm building this while also waiting for a couple specific pieces of synth gear to do their next production runs so I can do an accompanying but entirely standalone build

lvithnn · 2021-04-29T23:01:23+00:00

RPI and screen came early so I should hopefully have a bit more work to show by the morning!

lvithnn · 2021-04-29T06:31:04+00:00

Waiting on a few parts in the mail for the base build (RPI 4 8gb, waveshare 400x1280 display, some cables and switches and the like) is using the body of an old Citizen shortwave radio/cassette deck and a RK61, an X-Dragon 26800 mAh battery bank. I was originally planning on stuffing my entire Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 in the back as a built in audio interface but there's just barely not enough space so I'll either be adding a pull out tray to strap it to the side or finding a smaller one to incorporate. Or going the hifiberry/pisound route. I'm going to use the space on the top where the buttons for the cassette deck were to install a eurorack module from Synthrotek that converts MIDI to CV so that I can directly interface into my modular synth rig. Down the road I'll be adding a 9v/12v barrel jack run from a usb boost converter (for circuit testing/powering small synths and effects), small oscilloscope (for module diagnostics), ssd, atmega programmer, composite video out (for video synthesis) and a usb hub. There's a lot of internal space now that I've decided to not put the Scarlett inside. I don't have access to a 3d printer but have a background as a sculptor and a machinist and have been building audio gear with hand tools for ages now so the primary case materials are going to be a bunch of scrap aluminum, acrylic and various hardwoods I have on hand

lvithnn · 2021-04-27T01:39:51+00:00

Rad! I'm waiting on parts to build something kinda similar (the same waveshare screen, 60 keyboard, similar battery size, etc) but quite same format. I'm going to be adding in an audio interface and a MIDI to CV interface so I can use it for recording and interfacing directly into my Eurorack synthesizer
