octopush | progrees project to make an open source stand

octopush is a C++ library typically used in Internet of Things (IoT), Raspberry Pi applications. octopush has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Octopush is a work in progrees project to make an open source stand alone music sequencer and sampler based on the low-latency real-time ELK AudioOS for Rapsberry Pi, and using Abelton’s Push2 as a hardware interface. Basically, I want to build by own hardware sampler+sequencer using a Raspberry Pi, a Push2, and reusing existing nice software. Octopush is a long term project that I’ll probably never finish. Hopefully I’ll reach to an interesting point someday, and I’ll certainly have fun in the way. Or maybe I’ll find people who wants to help and we’ll make something nice together. The name "Octopush" comes from the inspiration for this project, which was [this Youtube video] of a jam with an Octatrack. Then I thought "I need something like this", but I saw lots of MIDI limitations in it, and then I said "I need to make my own". I have a Push2, so I thought that I’d write some software to connect to it and make the instrument. I guess by now the origin of the name is evident, Octatrack + Push ~= Octopush. Also by that time I just finished reading [this amazing book about octopuses] so it all kind of made sense. The current status of the project is that I’m working on a sort of technical solution/proof of concept that connects all the pieces of software and hardware that I want to use. I have made some software that does basic loop playing and step sequencing, and connects to Push2 to use it as the UI nicely. This works fine running on my desktop macOS computer. It also runs fine on the Raspberry Pi. I’m in the process of porting this to the ELK platform to be able to get low-latency multi-channel audio IO when running in the Pi. I almost have it working, but there are still some issues here and there that need fixes. More details below…​.
