It's alive!

Well, first prototype is complete. Below is the rather larger than planned controller, the Pi with LCD running the software, and a speaker, all connected up and running together for the first time.

Close up of the software, plenty of refinement to be done, but the basic UI does it's job, shown here the top row is the current track and you can see a bunch of notes in there. The line underneath is a summary of track, buffer, octave and a few other things, really just a debug output for now but you get the idea.

Ah the delivery box turned controller in all it's hacked-together glory. Well, this taught me roughly what controls I need, how they might hang together, that push-to-make works fine with makeymakey and a bunch of other things about crimping and cables. I'm not sure I'm going to progress with these chunky buttons for the next revision.
