Not just a sampler
CHOMPI is designed to evolve! We've built this instrument to be as flexible as possible... with multiple firmware options planned for the future. As the community grows, so will the possibilities!
Powerful DSP Platform
In the future, we'll be releasing multiple firmware options to choose from... but if you'd like to take things even further, we'll also be offering a couple example programs for those who might like to design their own firmware.
Workflow Matters
We know first hand how problematic tiny screens can be for visually impaired folks, so we wanted to create an inviting and accessible screenless interface, with big buttons and big knobs for maximum fun!
Quality Components
Special care was taken with sourcing quality materials for CHOMPI’s hardware, but many aspects of the platform have also been designed with user customization in mind. The modular panel enclosure, MX mechanical key switches & keycaps, and dj style encoder knobs can all be customized and retrofitted by the user to match their own unique style.
CHOMPI Keycap / Knobsets and Colorways are interchangeable!
