No that's my Arduino based Swis-army-knife midi controller :) The Pi itself is uncased, and just about visible at the back of the desk the far side of the speakers - to discourage stray fingers. >Do you have a description of this project?

It's a Pi 3B running a fairly minimal Rsapbian, and the setup for the show was with a mid-range monitor, a small USB->stereo audio module, small keys midi keyboard. The audio was sent to two inputs of the KA6 so it could be heard on the same speakers as the larger setup. For a couple of guys who were particularly interested, I also ran it headless with the monitor switched off - perfectly practical but you do need to be able to remember the shortcuts... or have a crib sheet :) Currently, I have even better results running with the minmal Devuan ASCII 2 with no GUI elements at all and only absolutely necessary services. It definitely runs significantly better as a pure ALSA unit than with JACK. The same audio adaptor can drive most headphones directly, so the only other thing needed is a standard keyboard (no mouse or monitor). ... Oh, and a power supply. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
