Yoshimi Pi

[Folderol]

I though it was worth giving this it's own thread.

The first bit of news is that YP003 is now alive, kicking and has been running for most of the afternoon and evening

Looking for a home

Bravo Will!

Not ready for one yet, but could I be first on the list for YP007, Live and Let Pi.

As I said on the other thread I was going to leave playing with YP002 until the New Year but the thing is too much fun. It's a synth that has lots of good presets and can be programmed via a proper GUI but at the same time you can open a terminal window and write shellscript if you want to. OK, if you're not an old Unix hacker you may not want to but there's a Raspberry Pi 4B in the box just waiting to be played with.

You will need a USB wired keyboard and mouse to use Yoshimi but they're cheap as chips nowadays. You can plug a bog-standard (i.e. class compliant) MIDI interface and/or keyboard into one of the USB ports and it will recognise and play ball with both of them as you would want and expect it to.

Go on - treat yourself for Christmas - you know it makes sense!

Apropos of nothing, what kind of a price might a device like this cost?
Asking for a friend...

It looks smashing; I'd be interested to see a demo on YouTube. Once word got around I think you'd get a bunch of orders for these.



PS a quirky label with a serial number and something like zenguitar's "Live and Let Pi" suggestion would be cool...or something along the lines of the electrical warnings on the Micro Q or Mesa Boogie.





...then there's the Yoshimi Pink Robots stickers and T-shirts...

I paid £260. I'm sure your friend would agree that represents superb value for money.

PS I've currently got mine working with a larger screen because that's nicer in a semi-permanent installation but I'm keeping the small screen to hand because I want to retain the portability option. I'll bring it along to the next SoSmeet I come to.

@BJG145
Thanks for your support.
Them robots get everywhere don't they

You ought to collaborate with Martin Walker. I'm sure the world is ready for a Yoshimi SteamPi.

PS For a Youtube video it would probably be better to wait for Eddy D to be back in the parish. I'm a lousy keyboard player, I mostly play it with my MIDI anglo.

Wouldn’t a steam pi be a pudding?

Wouldn’t a steam pi be a pudding?

Or a fresh cow pat on a cold winter's morning?

How disrespectful
