Pisound is a high-quality, ultra-low-latency sound card and MIDI interface, specially designed for Raspberry Pi.
Equipped with 192kHz 24-bit Stereo Input and Output driven by the legendary Burr-Brown chips, DIN-5 MIDI Input and Output ports, user-customizable button and bundled software tools, this little Raspberry Pi HAT will bring your audio projects to a whole new level!
Using Pisound you can turn your Raspberry Pi into a music instrument or effect, audiophile network player, portable recording studio, internet radio station or anything you can think of as long as it's audio related!
Pisound works wonderfully with Patchbox OS, Raspbian, Arch Linux, Pixel, Ubuntu Mate, Audacity, Pure Data, Sonic Pi, SuperCollider, Volumio, and any other Linux software.
This item includes the specific enclosure for the card.
When designing Pisound, one of the main goals was to enable everyone to use Pisound and Raspberry Pi in a non-GUI mode, without needing an external monitor, keyboard, or mouse.
As it turns out, you only need one button to achieve this, and they call it The Button.
Its functionality can be customized according to your needs. By default using The Button you can open patches straight from a USB thumb drive, safely close them, shut down the Raspberry Pi and even launch “Pisound” Wi-Fi hotspot, so that you can connect to the device via SSH, VNC or send WiFi-MIDI messages directly to your Pi using smart phone or tablet.
Our favorite use-case for it - you can run your Pure Data patches, without any need to connect a display, keyboard or mouse, just by plugging in a USB drive containing “main.pd”, any optional MIDI controller / keyboard, click The Button once and Voilà!
Triple-click WiFi hotspot works with Raspberry Pi models with WiFi integrated. Other versions require SoftAP capable USB WiFi adapter to be plugged in.
