CHOMPI portable sampler instrument is now open-source (hardware and software)

The CHOMPI portable sampler instrument is now open-sourced, with both hardware and software available for free. The project was started by musician and engineer Tom Leinster, who wanted to create a portable, affordable, and user-friendly sampler. The CHOMPI is a compact, battery-powered device that can sample and manipulate audio in real-time. It features a built-in microphone and a 12-character LCD display. The open-source release includes the hardware design files, software code, and documentation, allowing users to modify and customize the device to their needs. The project was funded through a Kickstarter campaign in 2019.
