    Been thinking about your project and how massive it is - building a synth/drum/sampler/effects box.

    Why just create a kick-ass one thing?

    Everyone has a multitude of instruments already. What about a kick ass effects unit?

    You could make it hackable/programmable so more effects could be added in the future or you could leave it open source so people could make and sell their own additions.

    But make the thing so it can take multiple inputs say 8? then those inputs can be routed through whatever effects and then there are plenty of knobs and sliders to control each of these effects much like a studio mixer. No menu diving during songs just certain knobs n sliders doing certain things for each song.

    That's the kind of thing I'd wish for :P

    • Effects might be built-in depending on software choice, so was thinking like many other boxes 'n synths can route outside signal thru box if wantedprophetone
    • But... I love the design of the Monomachine keyboard attachment, or the Oberheim DX Stretch...prophetone
    • Whereas that add-on matches the box design and becomes a natural extension of the unit, even bolting on to the side; sorta modular. Would be cool.prophetone
    • This guy has gone that route with Raspi/PD for guitar effects setup: https://www.youtube.…prophetone
