Hi,

The Raspberry Pi is a very inexpensive, tiny computer running Raspbian (a Debian-based distro), and other Linux ditributions.
Many people in the Pd community have been experimenting with this platform in the past months, and I am happy to announce that it is now ready for real-time I/O audio (in case you didn't know...) !

I (and other Pd users) managed to go down to 10 ms latency without audio dropouts with an external USB soundcard.
I made a few guitar effects which run fine on it (with 16 ms latency though, because i use a phase-vocoder for one of them!). You can watch the video here :

Stay tuned on my blog for more instructions if you are interested.

Cheers!

Interesting, what is your cpu load while performing pd stuff?

hi,

I don't know at the moment. I'll check this week-end.

Cheers.

Did you get the latency benchmarks?
