PRESENTATION OpenRig: open source NAM pedal on a Raspberry Pi 5. Boots in 3 s, runs 6-7 NAM models without dropouts (GPL-3.0)

Hi all! OpenRig is an open source multi-effects I've been building. It's a small Linux OS that boots straight into a touch UI and runs NAM captures, IRs and LV2 plugins. (GIF above, it's the real UI.)

Performance on a Raspberry Pi 5 with a Focusrite :

  • It boots in about 3 seconds.
  • It chains 6-7 NAM standard models/IR without dropouts.

What you get:

  • TONE3000 built in: sign in and download captures straight from the pedal, no computer needed.
  • Rack view: the whole chain on one screen, with A/B, Mix and left/right splits.
  • Live: 8 scenes per preset, stomp mode, setlists, tap tempo, tuner, looper.
  • MIDI: preset and scene changes, clock, CC learn.

Hardware: it runs on the Pi 5 (arm64) and on x86_64 mini PCs. I've tested it mostly on the Pi 5 and in QEMU. [Images are in the Releases / For now you build the image yourself, it's one command, see docs/OS.md.]

Next: ready-to-flash images with packaged updates, and GPIO footswitches so it becomes a real floor pedal.

It's a young project. Feature requests, issues and test reports on other audio interfaces are very welcome!
