Here's the funding page for all my current and future open-source hardware projects.
A few weeks ago I released Wusik 44UM USB MIDI Controller. And now it's time to push it to the next level. By reducing the price and adding audio playback with looping option.
This would make 2 versions: one pure USB MIDI and another stand-alone version that allows you to load samples and loops and play those back without a computer. You can even loop audio in sync with its internal sequencer.
The first version is cheaper, as it uses the Arduino Pro Micro board, and the second one uses the Banana Pi which has plenty RAM to handle audio.
You can check out the current product in the link below. With more pictures and videos showcasing the MIDI only version.
Once I have the proper funds, I can start working on the editor for the unit and also the stand-alone version. The funds will also help me out lower the price as I can order components at a bulk. Another thing I want to do is test buttons with rubber TPU material 3D printed, to check if they have a better feeling. I may even test some Resin Printed buttons to check things out. That's why this funding is important, for me to invest more on this project and get a better end result.

You can select the colors of everything for your unit. The top, the bottom, the middle division "line" and also the buttons. In the link above you can check some color tests I have done for the top section. I will contact users about colors when time comes.
Another project is a new Beat707 Drum Sequencer (or audio sequencer) with the same RGB Buttons as the project above. Having a total of 4 x 16 sequencer steps and also navigation buttons. Check out the Wusik B707mkII project for more information.

Another project that I'm working on is Wusik OnWire. The idea is simple: an online hardware rental system. More information on the link below.

And I also want to create a complete stand-alone audio workstation using a more powerful SBC (single board computer) on the likes of the Raspberry Pi. By contributing any amount this help help me out on getting that done.
Perks
This is the fully built and complete unit, just plug and use.
Plus, get a FREE copy of several plugins to use with your
controller: Wusik Station X, Wusik ST8, Wusik STX (DAW) and Wusik 8008.
4x4 USB MIDI Controller With RGB LEDs - USB MIDI Controller Using the Arduino Pro Micro (small Leonardo) ATMega32u4
Fully Programable with Windows, MAC and Linux direct support (no drivers needed). Just plug into the computer and use. By default it sends notes for each button.
Featuring:
- 32 x RGB LEDs (2 per button, on the left and right sides);
- 18 x Buttons (no matrix, so any combination of buttons can be detected); They are regular on/off buttons;
- 3D Printed Case and Buttons. Unit size: 15 x 15 x 20 cm (rubber feet excluded);
- Windows, MAC and Linux USB MIDI HID Device Compatible (no drivers needed);
- Windows and MAC App for customizing buttons, leds and also play audio loops. Using this app you can configure everything and save into the unit's EPROM memory;
- Multiple options for setting the device directly: MIDICC, Note On/Off, Note On/Off Latch. Just press and hold both top buttons for a few seconds to enter the configuration swap option;
- The unit also receives MIDI which can be used to set the RGB LEDs using note on/off. This is great for when you want to change LEDs with a sequencer or create your own App to handle LEDs. One particular note will turn on and off the unit handling of LEDs and will only react to input notes to set leds. Read more about this at the bottom of this page.
Works the same as the MIDI Only unit but can work completly StandAlone as it has its own Audio Playback engine. With option to play sounds per button or even loop sounds in sync with an internal sequencer.
The idea is to add a small OLED screen for settings, or configure it by using a computer and run StandAlone after.
My plan is to use the Banana Pi M2 Zero as it has plenty RAM. All in one board. But I will program it with Bare Metal code so it won't have any latency issues + instant on.
A complete drum and audio sequencer with 4 x 16 RGB LED + buttons. Navigation buttons and LCD Display (mostly going to be OLED).

Wusik OnWire is a new online hardware rental system that I'm currently working on. By joining today you will get 100 hours of usage that never expires. The idea is simple, you run a plugin or app that connects to a server, you log in, and you can process audio on the system, selecting from a variety of real devices (hardware units). Those could be a real plate reverb, spring reverb, FM sound transmitter and receiver, distortion effect, and many other units - all created by me. Everything is processed in real-time and via the Internet. You only get credit by the time you actually use it when processing something.
I'm still working on the server and the first devices, that's why I'm running this PreOrder, to help me out with all the initial costs. I will take pictures as I go, from the units that I created.
There's no subscription. You just pre-pay for hours and use those as you want.
And here is the AI Generated introduction (good grief) :-o
