I already owned a Digitone but I sold it because the lack of single outputs. However, I really miss the sound and it is really powerful for the form factor. Now there’s the Digitone Keys which has the single outs but it’s way too big for my portable live setup.
I’m aware that there’s the Linux ALSA Overbridge project by @droelf which could be used in conjunction with a Raspberry PI (Zero) and a suitable audio interface to achieve this functionality. But there are some drawbacks like the (minor) latency, stability and increased complexity. I also don’t want to deep dive into Linux Kernel development.
So I’m thinking about the possibility to remove the keyboard part accepting that
- I’ll void my warranty
- I’ll probably need a new housing
- Some minor (keyboard related) functions might be rendered useless
Has anyone tinkered with the Digitone Keys yet? Do you think it might be possible?
