pi0pi is a project to build a musical step-sequencer using the Raspberry Pi as a brain. Taking it’s name from musical instruments such as the Roland TB-303 and TR-808, it is also inspired by the x0xb0x (http://www.ladyada.net/make/x0xb0x/), an open-source, home-brewed synthesizer based on the TB-303.

The pi0pi intends to be a “hackable” piece of software: anyone with a Pi can put the software on it and start playing music, creating new software sound sources, or even re-writing the audio engine.

Here’s the first screen shot testing the display, just some text rendering.

Hello pi!
