Roger came to our music hackspace in Shoreditch to show us how he made it. Inside was guess what.... a RPi. Loads of cool ergonomic/haptic ideas that make it very playable.


Not a Raspberry Pi but an Arduino Due, a much less powerful CPU with much less RAM and storage.


I think I misremembered it as a Pi Zero. But that's even more impressive!

Now I remember the conversation went on to "efficiency" and Roger definitely comes from the "optimise for glory" camp. Told a story about how the Linn Drum machine was really less that 8 bits and used some trickery to squeeze out quality at a time when cheap 8 bit DACs were not a thing.
