- ...for music use, anyway.
This mini platform is designed for optimum music and sensor use. Looks really interesting.

Looks exciting! Think I saw something similar last year. Hope to see open-source interfaces become more common.
This looks amazing. With the right code snippets, a few of these could replace tons of expensive equipment.
it's a glorious world
Fascinating!
which (small) enclosures that can contain a screen are suggested to be used with "bela mini"?
Axoloti is 65 euros, has already got jacks and MIDI (DIN/USB), has comparable inputs and two outs that can drive DC control voltages and a bunch of digital in/out pins and also has separate jacks built in where it runs stereo audio at 48K 24 bit. Bela at twice the cost seems to have impressive capabilities but might be better sold to actual synth makers: Axoloti is more approachable on a tinkerer/electronic musician level, because it doesn't make you write code.
So, to make a DIY Organelle it would be way better than a Pi or Arduino?
Looks like either a Bela or an Axoloti could do that. If you were replacing the Axo jacks (say, to get two 1/4" outs instead of the 1/4" stereo out) it's easiest to destroy the stereo jack than to desolder it (also true for USB jacks etc: Axo comes with a prearranged set of jacks mounted on the PCB for a quicker start). To go with a raw Pi or Arduino is TOO configurable. Also, Bela and Organelle are linux based and programmed in C, Axoloti is more Arduino-y and is programmed by a Max/MSP like visual patching system, or by coding other visual patching objects (usually not necessary, the third party libraries are very extensive). Organelle just got Euclidian Rhythms, my Axo work has been using the Axo euclidian rhythms object lately.
I mean, axo is cool, but this thing is in a completley seperate leauge of development tools. Whenever you graduate from axo, you'll be looking for something like this.
I'm definitley looking for something with more IO and more processing power. You could build an 8 channel multi-effects unit with one of this, which is something axo just isn't capable of.
If you can do that, you can build a tiny 8-track recorder with some sort of revolutionary new interface. Maybe rather than being a small digital instrument, this is a DAW-in-a-pedal waiting to happen?
VST Host. For everything?
how does the "Teensy" compare to the "Bela" board?
ooo like the retrofit to a guitar idea. Anyone have more details on those string sensors? Id like to try and piece something like that together. On another point Gaz could retrofit every bass. Every bass in the wooooorld.
jason mastrandrea they're just normal peizo sensors. You should be ablr to pick them up anywhere that sells electronics parts for around $0.25 a piece.
The trick is having something fast enough to get all of the analog data that would be coming out of them and turn it into audio, like this shield does.
Work Ethic Records cheers thanks. Prooooject! Or noobject actually.
SALT needs a mini-LCD
The link that's missing in the description: bela.io/
anyone has experienced running "orac" (PureData) on bela?
Programing isn't scary. Haha, if you can understand a patch on an analog synth, and do really basic algebra/trig, you can write audio code in C.
supercollider is probably one of the best for people who are 1:1 ratio of musician and programmer
Program it ... ? Really?
"Can't somebody else do it?!" ;P
This is the challenge of tech nerd music platforms. Often the creators of such systems think their duty is to provide the widest possible configurability and the creativity will follow. They're imagining a motivated musician creator who can also program, but what sells stuff like this is already-demonstrated creative stuff to use. I do love the Karplus-Strong simu-bass thing, and the scraping of the strings. They could probably just make those and outsell the Bela ten to one.
This is a shield/hat for a Beaglebone isn't it?
If so, it shouldn't be compared with a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino.
