Heres how I turned my Raspberry Pi into a DIY sample-based multi-instrument solution for live performance! From 808 drums to synth leads, to fully multi-sampled grand piano, you can play them all with a standard MIDI keyboard. I wanted a way to easily incorporate virtual instruments into my live-looping workflow without running VSTis on a laptop, and SamplerBox was the perfect solution.

09:20 - DEMO PERFORMANCE
Im using the Raspberry Pi 3 (with HiFiBerry DAC+, unused in this video) with an Akai MPKmini mkII and a Focusrite Scarlett sound interface in conjunction with my Kaoss Pad for a standalone live-looping setup - no laptop necessary! This will also work on the Raspberry Pi 4. (Pi 2 may work, but probably not as smoothly... please share your experiences!)

I do a lot of beatboxing and drum & bass stuff, but I like to dabble in a bit of everything. I draw a lot of inspiration from classic 8-bit video game music. (Nintendo every day after school as a kid!)
