48HP, 60mm depth, fits in a standard make noise skiff. You need a fan unless you have some sort of airflow alternative (such as an open back case or adequate ventilation). Power comes from an adapter plugged into the front panel.
This module is LattePanda 3 delta based and runs windows 10 and more and therefore all your favorite plugins and DAWs. its a quad core 2.9ghz with 8gb DDR4 ram with 1tb m.2 drive and 10gbps usb3, USB2, gigabit Ethernet (i use it with Akai network MIDI), WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, forward facing HDMI 2.0b: Up to 4096 by 2160 at 60Hz, headset jack, 7 inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen great for your meter while your DAW is on the bigger HDMI screen.
This is intended to be paired with many USB audio and midi devices, any of which will presumably be compatible, like my expert sleepers ES-9 or my behringer rack mount. i also use an ESI m8uex midi interface with great results.
an unregistered copy of windows 10 is installed free of charge. You will get updates and the option of moving to widows 11. i keep mine up to date with no ill effects. of course i follow certain rules of use that make my system run well too. I install literally everything to D drive rather than C drive, i put the swap file on D at a fixed size at the large recommendation. i change the priority to background tasks, disable any startup programs that arent useful to music, switch all interface animations off for best performance. It generally has a decent amount of juice for studio tasks! its no M1, but it doesnt need to be.
The bitwig office approved it for use with their software. I have had great experiences with Reaper and all kinds of of plugins. The sky is the limit, you can control a massive modular system or just run your favorite plugin in a euro rack space.
Video performance software such as the current Resolume package works great and theres the possibility of 2 screens, one on the module and one external HDMI target. if you have a USB peripheral for video output, it may need testing. im not a video guy but i was asked to test the software and there are no glitches with onboard HDMI. i would recommend the use of USB storage devices for streaming however. the top blue USB port is 10gbps.
You can also use this to SMDI with SCSI samplers from the past with some accessories available elsewhere. Its my one stop control point of convergence! Ive been running mine for almost a year straight and its running like a champ.
so these are built bespoke according to your wishes. I cant just take one off the shelf and mail it to you. But basically the choices boil down to silver or black. vents on the bottom or the left side. I highly recommend a fan unit and an air tight rack up so the air can be forced in the right way for it to cool properly.
