r_e_c_u_r

an open diy py/pi based video sampler

vectorfront

r_e_c_u_r is an embedded python application on raspberry pi3 that uses input from the keypad to control omxplayer's video out while displaying a simple text user interface on the rpi lcd screen  

features

  • seamlessly loop video through rpi's HDMI or composite out
  • intuitively browse video files on a usb 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
  • configure the settings menu to suit your use

more coming soon:

  • composite video out (hopefully)
  • midi controlled
  • more playback modes and options
  • optional extention for live sampling
  • compatablity with other sbc's

other feature requests

i started a board of the 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)
