ped Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 [url="http://www.howleraudio.com/index.html"]http://www.howleraudio.com/index.html[/url] The OpenStompTM Coyote-1 is an open source audio effects processor built for guitar players. With the Coyote-1 users can develop custom audio effects in software (like distortion, echo, chorus etc.), mix multiple effects to build "patches", and exchange those effects and patches with the OpenStompTM community. A companion Windows application (OpenStompTM Workbench) allows Users to combine effects into patches graphically, and to move patches and effects between the Coyote-1 device and their PC's disk. The Coyote-1 O/S is open source so users can tweak it to behave any way they like, and the hardware is fully documented so that developers can take control of the whole pedal, dedicating all available system resources toward the implementation of unique custom solutions.

crez5150 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Good idea though it does frustrate me when most of the worlds pro Audio software is Mac based and they come up with a windows only editor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ped for the info. I look forward to see the final product available on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 That's very cool, I hope it's not too expensive! I could get rid of my pedal board if this is as flexible as i'm hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorchin Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 This is amazing, loving all the new Open Source products coming out at the moment. Especially the new mobiles (OpenMoko/Android). I wonder if you can port VSTs over to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Fantastic! it's like the next step along the digital effects revolution from IK Multimedia's stomp IO [url="http://www.ikmultimedia.com/"]http://www.ikmultimedia.com/[/url]. I would LOVE to see VST plugin support. Ampeg SVX inside a stomp box would be ..well.. I can't begin to describe how good that would be!!!!!! By far my favourite amp plug in!!!

It's a one-man project that's still under development, so I think the designer is more interested in getting it up and running as quickly as possible, which means sticking with what he knows. If it takes off, I expect someone will do a Mac editor at some point, and Linux too - that's the beauty of Open Source. The pedal can drive a TV/monitor directly, so there's a possibility that future editing won't need a separate computer at all - again, it's all up to what people are prepared to spend time working on.

[/quote] The limitations of the processor in it means that I don't think that's likely - though I could be wrong. The same for LADSPA plugins.

dr.funk Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hmm seems to be missing midi and doesn't seem to be all that powerful compared to some of its rivals. I would love to have one of these to run my vsts instead of using a laptop but the cost is a bit prohibitive...

Some day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
