Quick demo of a live DnB jam, using a Raspberry Pi 3B as a drum machine, Behringer Neutron for synth bass, and Korg Kaoss Pad KP3+ for extra effects.
Kaoss Pad is master MIDI clock. Arturia Keystep sequencer plays drums on Channel 1, keyboard plays synth on Channel 2. I've connected the VCA and Delay audio outputs from the Neutron to separate channels on my mixer, so I can EQ the delay line and send it to the KP for a fun 2nd stage delay effect.
The Keystep is configured such that the Pitch wheel affects Channel 1 (drums), but the Mod wheel affects Channel 2 (the synth's filter cutoff).

Welcome to Phazerville! I'm your host, Nick, aka DJ Phazer! I'm a music nerd from Michigan who makes weird noizes and overthinks everything! I grew up with Nintendo and Nickelodeon. I'm known in some circles for my beatbox skillz. I like to spin Drum & Bass and occasionally get lost in sound design and synthesis. You can expect a lot of DIY music tech here ;)

Welcome to Phazerville! Im your host, DJ Phazer! Im a music producer from Michigan who makes weird noizes and overthinks everything! XD
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!)

![[HowTo] Turn a Raspberry Pi into a DIY Virtual Instrument with SamplerBox | Phazerville](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/N-yQnr4uUdY/mqdefault.jpg "[HowTo] Turn a Raspberry Pi into a DIY Virtual Instrument with SamplerBox | Phazerville
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.
See it in action as a drum machine: https://youtu.be/MTtppT-18jI
0:00 - Intro
01:23 - What is the Pi?
02:49 - Setting up SamplerBox
05:09 - Loading & configuring samples
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!)
