Developers of Bela – a low-latency embedded computing platform for high-quality audio applications – shared this overview of Pepper, a DIY Eurorack Bela module for synth builders.

They say it’s the easiest way to get a Bela into your synthesizer case and, once assembled, will give you a fully programmable module. If you’re a developer, you can code synth patches using C++, Pure Data, Supercollider and Csound.

Pepper features:

• Stereo audio I/O
• 8 CV inputs (up to 4 can be swapped for trigger ins)
• 8 CV offset potentiometers (normalised to analog inputs)
• 8 CV outputs
• 4 buttons
• 10-LEDs
