otem/Raspberry-Pi-Looper-synth-drum-thing

My first venture into raspberry pi stuff. Running a custom pure data patch I've been working on for a couple years on a Raspberry Pi 3. This project took a couple months and I'm still tweaking stuff here and there but it's pretty much complete, it even survived it's first live show! observed · 2026-08-28

What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A DIY Raspberry Pi-based looper/synth/drum machine running a custom Pure Data patch, with a Teensy 3.6 controller, custom button/drum-pad hardware, and a small display. It is a personal hardware music instrument project, essentially complete and used in live shows.

Use cases

  • build a raspberry pi looper and drum machine
  • run a pure data patch on a pi as a standalone instrument
  • make a diy hardware synth with teensy and buttons
  • looper for live electronic music performance
  • custom drum machine with my own wav samples

When to choose

  • you want to build the exact documented hardware setup (Pi 3, Teensy 3.6, ILI9341 display, mux, pots)
  • you already use Pure Data and want a dedicated embedded instrument
  • you want a hackable looper/drum machine you can modify at the patch level

When to avoid

  • you want a polished, supported product or general-purpose audio software
  • you don't want to source specific hardware and wire it yourself
  • you need a maintained project with a license, releases, or community support
