Cheap Sampler on Raspberry PI


erik_nie

Recommended Posts

Perhaps interesting for others. Based on the SamplerBox project that created a Sample player for the Raspberry PI, I enhanced it with several options:

- Works on Raspberry PI 3

- Includes FreeVerb

- Can play 4 channel backing Track.

 

Check it out at:

Works great for me. I sampled my lovely CVP609 piano (CFX) on 6 levels and this is great to add to my Kurzweil PC3.

Superb! Will my pi2 be struggling?

 

Perhaps if you turn things off or reduce performance...

- increase Buffer

- Reduce polyphony

- turn off freeverb

 

Original SamplerBox runs okay on the PI2

Those little bastards are addictive! I have 7 or 8 of them now. (I lost count.)

 

And I want to build a 33-card supercomputer out of them one day.

It's got decent video output, too, I've made a youtube of a analog simulation synth on the original RPI years ago, and nowadays there are various offers for dedicated screens and touch screens (or a fitting HDMI monitor). The RPI3 is 64 bit, but I suppose everybody still uses a 32 bit OS.

 

I've mentioned the "orange PI" here a while ago, which is 1.6 GHz and has SATA-2 (!) disk connections, might be interesting to consider if you can find a sample program that can read from disk.

Around 40 euro for PI3, 5 for USB audio, 3 for LCD, 5 for case. I use a 4 channel ESI Maya USB+ card for 80 euro. 10 for decent powersupply

 

For stereo: around 60 euro.

For 4 channel with ESI 80 euro more. Perhaps other card will work (cheaper and more expensive)

Hi Erik

 

I've started down this path myself now. Haven't had time to build the hardware yet but I have a Pi3 waiting for me to do so. Electronics is my day job so shouldn't be too tricky.

 

But I will check out your site.

 

Have you got a recommendation for a GOOD quality USB sound module? I know the one recommended is pretty cheap (around $10) but is that good enough?

 

Cheers
