SamplerBox

An open-source audio sampler project based on RaspberryPi.

Website: www.samplerbox.org

Install

SamplerBox works with the RaspberryPi's built-in soundcard, but it is recommended to use a USB DAC (such as this 6€ one) for better sound quality.

  1. Install the required dependencies (Python-related packages and audio libraries):
sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -y install git python-dev python-pip python-numpy cython python-smbus portaudio19-dev libportaudio2 libffi-dev
sudo pip install rtmidi-python pyaudio cffi sounddevice
  1. Download SamplerBox and build it with:
git clone https://github.com/josephernest/SamplerBox.git ;
cd SamplerBox ; make 

3. Run the soft with `python samplerbox.py`.

4. Play some notes on the connected MIDI keyboard, you'll hear some sound!  

*(Optional)*  Modify `samplerbox.py`'s first lines if you want to change root directory for sample-sets, default soundcard, etc.
