OTTO is an open-source digital hardware synthesizer, groovebox, and effects processor built for Raspberry Pi. It combines a sampler, sequencer, multi-engine synth, and effects with a custom UI in a standalone hardware box.

Use cases

  • build your own hardware groovebox
  • run a sampler and sequencer on a Raspberry Pi
  • create a DIY hardware synthesizer
  • process audio with multi-engine effects in a standalone device
  • make electronic music with an open-source synth box

When to choose

  • you want to build a custom hardware music device on Raspberry Pi
  • you need an open-source alternative to commercial grooveboxes
  • you want to hack or extend a synth/sampler/FX platform in C++

When to avoid

  • you need a polished, production-ready instrument out of the box
  • you want a pure software plugin (VST/AU) rather than hardware
  • you are not comfortable assembling and flashing your own hardware
