MINIDEXED is a superb implementation of 8 instances of DEXED, the free DX7 emulator, on a "bare metal" Raspberry PI. Think of a TX816 in mini format. In this video, I walk through the installation, setup and navigating the menu. Table of contents: 00:00 introduction 01:00 assembling the PI setup (LCD and rotary encoder) 01:32 other hardware needed 02:45 installing and configuring the software 03:30 navigating the menu, setting up a performance 06:34 important considerations 06:54 demo (synthwave... ) 09:36 bye-bye Resources for this project: MINIDEXED Audio hat ("soundcard"): LC Display: Rotary encoder: GPIO expander: You can also buy one of the sets by Freenove: - these will get you a lot of components useful for synth projects.
