The other distro, Patchbox OS, is more like a traditional version of Raspbian with the stuff you need, built-in. It works really in “headless mode” (without a monitor) and it provides a dedicated WiFi hotspot and webserver to allow you to tweak patches from any other device (without having to connect to the Internet). It’s also a great replacement for a number of MIDI Solutions boxes. It’s been my “plug and play” device for a few jams, including with MIDI pedals. One, Modep, allows me to use a Pi as the equivalent of a MOD Duo, with hundreds of plugins available in a kind of “virtual pedalboard”. It’s especially useful with a special “flavour” of the Raspbian OS which is specially design to work out of the box to make the best of that HAT. It’s neither cheap nor that expensive considering mainstream alternatives. To this day, my favourite Pi-based platform for musicking includes the Pisound “HAT“ (soundcard) from Blokas. The result is a battery-powered mini synth.Ġ0:00 demo (Synth V1 App, realtime tweaking of sounds)Ġ4:47 required / recommended software downloadsĠ7:19 you don’t know JACK… (and you don’t know ALSA)Ġ9:19 Bristol synthesizer – Korg polysix emulatorġ1:38 setting up a patch bay in qjackctl for reusing setupsġ2:29 setting up synth v1’s control scheme for external midi gearġ3:30 creating a boot script for launching your setup after switching onīeen using Raspberry Pi boards for a few years. In his video, Steinberg show how to set up a Raspberry PI V3 as a virtual analog synthesizer, with keyboard and knobs, using standard MIDI controllers. The Raspberry PI is a inexpensive card-sized computer that’s popular with DIYers. In his latest video, Floyd Steinberg takes a look at how to use a Raspberry PI as a synthesizer.
