    A low latency guitar effects processor suitable for running on a raspberry pi

  • Seems like there are already a couple dozen pedals defined, and you can define your own using the Q framework...

  • rtaudio

    A set of C++ classes that provide a common API for realtime audio input/output across Linux (native ALSA, JACK, PulseAudio and OSS), Macintosh OS X (CoreAudio and JACK), and Windows (DirectSound, ASIO, and WASAPI) operating systems.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • neural-amp-modeler

    Neural network emulator for guitar amplifiers.

  • This is awesome. I'd be really interested to find out if a Raspberry Pi can run an open source amp modeler like NAM (https://github.com/sdatkinson/neural-amp-modeler).

  • NeuralPi

    Raspberry Pi guitar pedal using neural networks to emulate real amps and effects.

  • Reminds me of NeuralPi, which uses ML models to emulate real AMPs

  • norns-shield

    minimal/tiny open-source/DIY shield for Raspberry Pi boards, providing hardware compatibility with the norns ecosystem.

  • Surface mount soldering is not too hard. I can't view the BoM on mobile, but from the photos the soldering looks achievable for someone with experience soldering through hole. Take a look at the document here https://github.com/monome/norns-shield/tree/main/bom - if it's mostly 0805 sized components you should be fine. Even a few 0603 would be okay if you have good vision and a steady hand.

  • arduino-audio-tools

    Arduino Audio Tools (a powerful Audio library not only for Arduino)

  • I use an ESP32-A1S board for that. I use this project https://github.com/pschatzmann/arduino-audio-tools/ and the platformIO vscode plugins.

    Have a look at this example to see how easy using that library is :

  • Audio

    Teensy Audio Library

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
