RNBO project: Daisy Pod or Pisound?

Karel's icon

I have a Max patch that I use at concerts, to do multi-voice granular with live audio input, controlled with a midi-controller.
Via RNBO, I want to be able to do the same thing with a no-laptop solution.
I have little to no experience with DIY hardware programming and I prefer sticking with Max (no PD, C++, ...)

My questions:

-Do I understand correctly Daisy Pod and Pisound are my 2 best options?
-Which of them would be the pick for me and why?
-How to get started?
-Where can I find more info or documentation of similar projects?

Hello Karell, the PiSound is an audio interface for the Raspberry Pi while Daisy Pod is for the Daisy platform.

I work a lot with Raspberry Pi 5s and PiSound and find it a powerful and good sounding solution for audio. I haven’t worked with Daisy boards yet.

If you have little-no DIY hardware experience, I'd go with the rnbo runner on the raspberry pi: https://rnbo.cycling74.com/learn/raspberry-pi-target-overview

You can use the pi-sound as an audio interface, but you can also just use most any "class compliant" USB audio interface.
