LMN 3: An Open-Source DAW-in-a-Box 

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

@@fundamentalfrequency5110 Amazing work. Also there is still SO MUCH space for even more magic - MIDI input, microphone/line-in sampling, ARM enabled VSTs, integration (or just taking parts from) with Zynthian. Probably the sampler would be incredible feature that'd sell this project/device even more. Again, great job!

I’ll just open reason 5 and make beatport standard track in 5 minutes, this tech is retarded clever but not required reinventing an oblong wheel

Looks really practical

Thanks for mentioning this on the podcast. I doubt I would have found it otherwise.

Would love to see a loopop review!

If you could somehow combine LMN 3 + Zynthian in the same box, then you have your budget answer to knock out the OP-1.

@@pauljs75 shall be no problem if you give the project some time as it is open source and the tracktion engine offers complete daw capabilities. Just a matter of time and how to implement it in the devices workflow and environment.

Stop it! You're staring to make me burp out butterflies

Strange, thats exactly what i thought when i first glanded at it. Lets hope its a damn sight cheaper lol

Looking at energy consumption it probably won't be an op-1. Raspberry + Teensy will eat up 6xAA battery pack within few hours, it will be also much heavier. There was a project - OTTO, that was based only on Teensy and some STM, but was abandoned. The project is great, the machine still have a lot of free, unused processing power on board, so it can grow in terms of features, but this is something than OPs.

David, thank you..Every time i say this,people want to get mad,to stop complaining and get off their azz and DO Something,make somethingg.

It seems this project needs now some management - looks like a lot of people would be able to invest some time into this one.

I haven't really noticed anyone "bitching" about the field, maybe critiqueing that it's not a huge improvement since the original OP-1 came out, and that it's laughably expensive as this video easily showcases albeit indirectly. I'm happy if you can understand all of this GitHub, diy, soldering pcb board stuff. Though I find it weird how many technically minded people don't understand that other people may not, nor will ever, have that ability. There's plenty of musicians who can't solder together a small computer- let alone ever even twist a single filter frequency knob.

Anyone that wants to contribute needs to create a Microsoft GitHub account though and give away personal information

@@roxyamused My comment was fairly flippant, so maybe the point wasn't clear. The bitching I'm talking about is precisely what your response has confirmed. Tons of people, who know nothing about developing a product, swarming a companies social posts and complaining about A:the price and B: the improvements over last gen when they don't even have one in hand to know what they are talking about. There is a HUGE DIY community in the audio space. If someone doesn't want to do the soldering on an open source build there are likely tons of people in the community who will offer to do it for a non-extortionist fee. OR may even even trade services for something you are good at yourself. As a matter of fact, I intend to do just that as I have the worst soldering skills on earth and I don't want to risk messing it up. There's this strange thing in society where folks like to say "I could build that cheaper myself" or some variation of that...and it's not only ignorant, it's disrespectful. The way to change that is to actually try and build it yourself. You'll get it "Cheaper" (which is arguable since you will have to spend lots of your time (which is money) learning and doing the assembly yourself). But you will come out of it with a new appreciation for what goes into developing a product. This is who my comment was aimed at, and if you aren't seeing those comments that's ok, but I'm not sure how since there are literally thousands of them between Instagram and RU-vid. If you don't want to build it yourself, that's totally fine! That's why there's a $1400.00 and a $2000.00 version that is super polished, made from premium materials and completely assembled for you! If you want to pay maybe... $1000.00 or less, then you might be able to do that by purchasing the parts list, asking someone in the community to assemble it and paying for their time. Just for full transparency. I own both the OP-1 and the Field. I love them. There is a MASSIVE improvement from original to the field. The audio processing alone is worth the upgrade. But that's also very subjective I realize. I have also already supported this project and hope to give my time in ways I can help so that we can create more options for everyone and every budget. I hope you'll get involved with the community on Github and poke around a bit. There are several folks already on there who aren't "technically minded" and are still contributing and asking for help where needed. This is a really, really awesome project and it provides a great opportunity for folks to learn, benefit and add value to the audio community. Sorry, I'm very passionate about the maker community. Thanks for your thoughts. I totally hear you on some stuff being outside folks comfort zones. I suppose that's the trade-off between DIY and pay the price for retail.

Awesome bro yeah could definitely use any help I can get. Feel free to start a discussion on the GitHub discussions tab if you have any thoughts

On it, cheers again for throwing in awesome idea to the community :)

@@ozlion152 looking forward to your contribution :) this is an awesome project!

what ozlion152 said

Please! I would buy a kit!

as far as I can tell it's just the one guy

@@allorgansnobody yes so far it’s just been me. But that will change!

@@fundamentalfrequency5110 hats off man.

“I’m not a musician but a guy with way too many hobbies” oof I felt that.

More like other way around, Mom can we get an LMN3? Mom:"We have LMN3 at home" LMN3 at home: (is actually just OP1)

Yeah the next build I do I’ll film for the tiktok.

The intersection between people who care about FOSS and the people who will willingly use TikTok is pretty small. Or maybe I just really hate TikTok and have a compulsion to argue against it at every opportunity. Yeah, probably the second one.

@@tissuepaper9962 well, you're at least not alone. :)

@@tissuepaper9962 the intersection between people who care about FOSS and TikTok may be small, but the intersection between people and musicians who like cool looking shit and TikTok users is far wider. I mean, I wish it wasn't but yknow (Don't take any of this too seriously TikTok is straight banned in my country lol)

@@turbochargedfilms your lucky wish it was banned in my country

jorb seal of approval

Thanks man!

I agree with these points. The tight integrations of encoder colors and screen UI is what makes it so special. It would be nice if the LMN would take the same route. Other than that it's already such a cool project....and I can't believe how much effort must have already been put into it.

Thanks!

Adding one ARM vst, with resampling to other track -> function would propel this to a market leader!

Thank you!
