Raspberry Pi 5 based system, Linux is light on resources so it feels faster than it would if you were running Windows 10. runs Linux DAWs and soft synths very well. Is made to hook up a USB class compliant sound card and midi device such as Expert Sleepers modules, or really, any class compliant USB audio/midi interface and can be used to control any CV based hardware module as well as pass audio and midi in and out. The screen is 5 inches diagonally and is very clear and bright. There is a fast Sandisk 256GB USB 3.2 thumb drive used as the boot drive which makes boot times low and takes up a very small space. There are two USB2 and one USB3 plug forwarded to the front panel.. There is a heat sink and fan installed that keeps the CPU running around 55 Celsius and below in most circumstances,
full size screens can be plugged into the exposed HDMI ports. Mouse and keyboard can be USB RF style or Bluetooth,
There is a nearly exhaustive list of Linux music focused software (freeware and demo) included free of charge including an unregistered copy of Reaper (will work fully with or without registration), Renoise demo, Sunvox, Bespoke Synth, Cardinal, Carla, Surge, Helm, Noizemaker, OB-Xd, ZynAddSubFX, Dexed, Stochast, and many more synths and FX plugins that are compiled for aarch64, which is in the hundreds. Its literally chock full of great tools for audio and CV and MIDI of course.
This unit cannot be powered from the Eurorack rail and has a forward facing USB C plug and an over spec PSU included. There is internal access to the power input if you would rather hook it up inside the case but you will need a cable coupler adapter. You must un-plug and re-plug this to hard boot.
I would describe this unit as robust and very usable. I can easily have 5 soft synth tracks and one sample based drum kit running in reaper with FX and still have plenty of room for more. The unit can be used to forward CV signals from Cardinal and other CV producing soft synths to effectively control hardware modules. This works very well. The unit can handle many inputs and outputs intended for CV or audio at once (my Expert sleepers modules provide 16 outputs and 10 inputs, but you can add even more).
This module has been replaced with PAC BOT 0.5 mk2
