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!
