Cosmolab – Professional Audio Developer Kit based on Electrosmith's Daisy Seed

Cosmolab is an open-source, modular hardware and software development kit designed to let you build custom synthesizers, audio processors, MIDI/CV interfaces, and Eurorack-style modules. At its core sists a DSP board based on the "Daisy Seed" platform, and Cosmolab is built from a set of modular boards - Audio I/O, MIDI I/O, CV/Gate I/O, Display, Potentiometers (with LEDs), and 2 keyboards with 16+16 illuminated buttons.
Because Cosmolab is fully open-source, both hardware schematics and firmware are freely available. This gives you the freedom to experiment, prototype, customize, and expand - wheter you're a musician, a designer, a developer or some curious about building sound gear from the ground up.
A key strenght of Cosmolab is its programmability. You can develop DSP code in C++, Arduino or other languages - and significantly, you can also use visual DSP environments such as Max Gen~ (within Max/MSP) or PlugData. This makes Cosmolab accessible even if you prefer working in graphical, modular patching environment rather than writing low-level code.
In short: Cosmolab is not a fixed-function instrument, but a flexible "sandbx" - a toolkit for creation. It gives yo uthe building blocks to design anything from simple effects pedals to complex modular synth voices, integrating audio I/O, MIDI, CV, UI (knobs, buttons, display), and more.
Max Gen~ support with OOPSY
Cosmolab's support for Max Gen~ (trough OOPSY) means that if yu're alreandy Max/MSP user, you can prototype DSP alghoritms and audio patches in a familiar visual environment, then deploy them to hardware - bridging software and hardware seamlessly. This males it a great tool not only for developers, but also for educators, experimental musicians, and anyone interested in exploring sound design with hardware.
We're now in crowfunding phase (fully funded in less than 2 days): if you believe in experimentation, DIY spirit, and building your own instruments - consider joining the Cosmolab community.
