Soundboard

Soundboard uses Python to turn Adafruit's Neotrellis M4 into a loop station.

Running this locally

• Buy a NeoTrellis from Adafruit <-- required hardware
• Connect the Neotrellis M4 to your computer
• It will run code.py in the root folder automatically.

How to debug

• Open your Terminal
• Get Neotrellis USB address using ls /dev/tty.* (it'll look like /dev/tty.usbmodem141130). Copy that value to your clipboard.
• Connect to your Neotrellis using screen /dev/tty.usbmodem141130 115200 (Note: 115200 is the baud rate.)
• You can find more info here if needed

Todos to improve UI/UX:

• [x] rename sound files and cherry pick best ones
• [x] color code instruments
• [] when an instrument is selected, it is a brighter on the keypad below
• [] when the loop plays, highlight instruments that are playing on bottom rows
• [] allow user to disable instrument by double clicking on it
• [] add play/pause button
• [] add page-left/page-right

Other ideas:

• [] ability to save and export loops
• [] pair with website or touchscreen
• [] "Live" mode
