Meet Pisound Micro - All-in-One Hat for Your Audio Projects
Good day, everyone!
Since the original Pisound was launched, we have been receiving a wide range of configuration requests from people using Pisound for their custom audio hardware projects and small manufacturing runs. Be it changing MIDI DIN-5 ports to 3.5mm jacks, removing Audio IN altogether, a version without potentiometers, and so on. So we decided to create a board that could bend to any build. The result is Pisound Micro - a super-flexible, tiny platform for bringing your custom audio hardware ideas to life!
Main Pisound Micro Features
- Audio: (Un)Balanced stereo IN & OUT, 24-bit / 96 kHz, ~ 5 ms loopback, > 98 dB SNR
- MIDI: 1x IN & 1x OUT, 1.4 ms loopback, optional activity LEDs
- GPIOs: 12x 10-bit analog + 25x digital, 0.5 ms latency
- Footprint: 56 x 65 x 4 mm, 13 g, draws just 25-35 mA
- Pin usage: I²S + I²C + only 2 additional SBC GPIO pins
- Connectors: None pre-soldered - spin it, flip it, panel-mount it, or tuck it under an OLED
You’ll Love Hacking with It!
- Great low-latency audio: for pocket loopers, noise boxes, or headless guitar pedals.
- Clock-tight MIDI: keeping your projects in sync!
- 37 extra GPIOs: read pots, encoders, drive relays or LEDs without stealing Pi pins.
- Battery-friendly: 25 mA idle keeps mobile builds alive for longer.
- Open-source software: “libpisoundmicro” library, a physical control configurator/mapper, plus Patchbox OS images tuned for < 3 ms round-trip.
Beta Program & Early-Bird Batch
As with Pimidi, we’re opening the very first run of boards exclusively to the community to gather feedback before the public release.
- Early-bird price: 55.2€ (20 % off the 69 € MSRP)
- Special Order Link: https://blokas.io/store/?secret=blokasfam
- Offer ends when the first batch sells out.
Also, Pisound Micro docs are live! You’ll find a quick-start guide, wiring diagrams, and code samples to get you rolling. We’ll be expanding docs further, so if you spot something that’s missing or have a clever idea, let us know!
That’s it! We’re super excited to see what you’ll create with this tiny beast - let’s keep building!
Cheers,
Blokas Team!
