In the test rig I connected some momentary switches to a Raspberry Pi GPIO port to test out some functionalities like software power on/off. I used small 3A DC to DC step down power converter module that you can use to make 5V out of 9V up to 16V, also I have used reverse polarity switch so I can use any power supply or wall wart capable to produce above 2A steady voltage. Our test setup is working! As you can see I have stripped USB hub and MIDI interface from it’s plastic covers, since everything will be packed up in the box we will make more room and we can release some build up heat that way.Īlso important note about the power supply here is that Raspberry Pi 3 takes about 2.5A peak and 1.5A 5V steady voltage. Here is the schematic of the connection to USB sound card: Mono socket is for line IN, yes SunVox can sample! Stereo socket is our line OUT. USB sound card has trrs 3.5mm socket on the out so we need to break this connection with one 3.5 trrs jack to two 6.3 mono and stereo sockets. Since Raspberry Pi 3 A+ has only one usb port and we need to attach more usb devices like simple cheap MIDI interface and LCD touch function. But SunVox will run on all Raspberries, it’s not demanding software 🙂įor the heart of the synth I will use HiFi usb sound card. Of course I recommend to use Raspberry Pi 4 since it has much more memory. For the brains of the synth I will use Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ because it has enough power to run SunVox and it’s cheap 😀 I’m using left over parts and reuse some old ones that I don’t need. Now we need to test connect everything together and make sure everything works as it should. We can use wood fill to cover some cracks and cavities, then use some sanding paper to remove scratches and even out all sides of the cover and make it nice to touch. We can hide the holes with some rubber feets so we will have strong and neat connection.

This time we will have to drill 4 holes on the bottom cover to use M2 screws to attach both covers. But this time we will be using some brass hex M2 standoffs.Īgain use wood metal glue and attach brass standoffs on each corner to the top cover. The same technique can be used to attach top and bottom cover together. This will be visible only inside, no holes need to be drilled so nothing will be visible outside. The only thing we need to do is to use some universal (wood/metal/glass) glue to attach some M2 screws for each mounting bracket. Fortunately LCD has a mounting brackets that we can use. Next we need to attach LCD screen to the cover. I used the same technique for the bottom cover. I used drill to make a lot of small holes and then it was easier to cut rest with the saw. I want to have much work space as possible in the SunVox GUI. I’m using 7″ touch sensitive HDMI LCD panel. Next we need to cut a hole for the screen on the top lead. I cut about 2 cm from the bottom to match the original openable lead from the box, I have removed the metal hinges and clasp. Here is my choice, a Tetley wooden tea box! Why? Simple, it’s a garbage! Yes I had this empty box that I was about to throw away but I noticed that the wood is easy to work with, that means it has high wood density, not too soft not too hard, so you can cut various shapes in it like in metal.īox dimensions are almost perfect to fit LCD screen, only we need to cut on height. To do that we need a case to be able to fit LCD screen, Raspberry PI and all peripherals like sound card and MIDI interface.

SUNVOX SAMPLES FULL

I want this to be full fledge SunVox standalone synth with all possible features.

SUNVOX SAMPLES HOW TO

There is a lot of examples on YouTube how to run SunVox headless on Raspberry PI Zero.

SUNVOX SAMPLES PORTABLE

I want this to be standalone SunVox Raspberry Pi synth and be portable and independent from the computer as much as possible, let just say DAWless style or rather portable DAW?

SUNVOX SAMPLES ANDROID

And it’s free for most of the systems, except the Android and iOS. It is a tool for those people who like to compose music wherever they are, whenever they wish.

SunVox is a small, fast and powerful modular synthesizer with pattern-based sequencer ( tracker). First of all if you don’t know what the hell is SunVox then here is official information from the source:
