r_e_c_u_r
an open diy py/pi based video sampler
r_e_c_u_r is an embedded python application on raspberry pi3 that uses input from a keypad to control omxplayer's video out while displaying a simple text ui on a rpi lcd screen
features
- seamlessly loop video through rpi's HDMI or composite out
- intuitively browse video files on an external usb or internally and map them into r_e_c_u_r
- load and trigger video samples from numbered slots in the sampler bank
- dynamically set and clear the start/end points of each sample as it plays
- control and sequence all inputs and more with midi-usb
- optional extention for live sampling through the pi camera input
- many sampler modes for varied playback including: repeat, one-shot, gated, random, fixed-length, random-start and more
- exhaustive and extendable settings menu to suit your use
other feature ideas
i started a board of some features i would like to explore
main objectives:
- Affordable : reducing the entry cost to performing with video
- Extendable : laying the foundations (of a user interface and code style) that can be easily iterated on by the community
- Simple : easy to operate (abstracted completely from ‘driving’ a raspi ) , easy to build (no technical computer install-y or circuit-y knowledge required to diy) , easy to develop (human readable code, inviting amatuer/first time coders to contribute)
documentation:
- operating - how to use r_e_c_u_r
- building - how to diy r_e_c_u_r
- developing - how to contribute to r_e_c_u_r
status
The nature of this project is to be open-ended and community driven. my r_e_c_u_r already solves the problems i intially built it for. what happens next depends on how it is used and recieved by you. if you like the idea please consider getting involved.
- the only hardware option currently avaliable is the
diy enclosure; this is designed be low cost, hackable and accessable. you can modify and 3d print/laser cut your own case, the recommended keypad and lcd parts are the cheapest i could find (with some compromises), basically aiming to get these in the hands of as many other diy-er as interested. if there is any interest i have plans to offer a limitedboutique enclosureoption at some point - professional custom cut aluminum cover , hand wired mechanical keys , real vinyl printed stickers, no compromises! (another future idea : a eurorack version based on raspi3 compute)
contact and donation
all feedback is apreciated. if you want to donate to this project you can do so with the above email via paypal : everything i receive will go into making r_e_c_u_r better.
