MiniDexed
Dexed FM synthesizer similar to 8x DX7 (TX816/TX802) running on a bare metal Raspberry Pi (without a Linux kernel or operating system)
-
mt32-pi
🎹🎶 A baremetal kernel that turns your Raspberry Pi 3 or later into a Roland MT-32 emulator and SoundFont synthesizer based on Circle, Munt, and FluidSynth.
-
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.
You can turn a Raspberry Pi into a Yamaha DX7 using MiniDexed or a Roland MT-32 using mt32-pi (which also loads soundfonts via FluidSynth). I use both of these regularly. They're great. Both work with USB MIDI controllers with no additional hardware required and boot headlessly in a few seconds to work like a true instrument.
