Horizontal WavetablePi

This is the horizontal version of WavetablePi. It is a wavetable module based on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W running mt32-pi. It is capable of emulating several midi synthesizers, including mt32, sc55 and general midi with custom sound fonts. For a complete feature list please refer to the mt32-pi project.

Questions

How big is the WavetablePi PCB?

It measures 69.1 × 43.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the WavetablePi use?

18 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the WavetablePi KiCad files?

From the scrapcomputing/WavetablePiHoriz repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/WavetablePi.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the WavetablePi design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
