Hi LADs
First of all I'd like to thank Hermann for his support and great effort
with
the Guitarix code. It really means a lot for us.
I also want to get the hook of the USB Audio stretch goal topic and
disclose
important information with you guys.
As a market product, when we say "USB 2.0 24bit Audio Interface" we mean
the complete package, that is:
A - USB device hardware port;
B - ALSA USB gadget driver running in our device;
C - USB Audio driver running on the host computer - be it Linux, Mac and
Windows.
In this scenario, any user would have this feature, independent of
adopted OS and
technical knowledge. This is what the stretch goal is about.
Without the stretch goal, what we have already is item A and part of item
B.
Also, as we're adopting class compliant devices, item C is already
"factory shipped" for Linux and Mac boxes.
This is what convinced me to order one!
I'm following the campaign very closely
Good luck guys!!
But not for Windows. Microsoft only provides USB 1.0 Audio class compliant
driver (16bit, 44.1kHz). We don't have Windows developers in the team (and
don't intend to have) and our worst nightmare is to start supporting
Windows drivers, with all it's versions, chaotic organization and kind of
dodgy business model.
Being so, we're outsourcing the Windows USB 2.0 Audio driver. Part of
the
stretch goal money goes into this acquisition. The other remaining part
goes to registering a USB vendor ID and homologation tests to have the USB
compliant logo.
And why am I telling you all this?
Is because considering only the Linux Audio universe, the USB 24bit Audio
is
practically a reality, independently of the stretch goal.
The hardware is all set and the USB Gadget driver, although not running
"out-of-the-box" yet, is already included in the ALSA stack and shall be
working in no time. In our current kernel, version 3.4, it is Experimental,
but on the newest mainline kernel, version 3.17, it is not Experimental
anymore.
One of our developers is working full time in it and I'm also pretty sure
that
many of the LAD subscribers can give us great advice on this
implementation :-)
The Buba and Mango boards.
Another important thing to mention is the $125k stretch goal for the
A23/A33 CPUs.
We're currently using an "off-the-shelf" CoreBoard that features an
AllWinner A20 1.0GHz CPU.
If we reach the goal, we're designing a custom coreboard featuring the
A23/A33
CPUs (they are pin to pin compatible). They are both 1.5GHz, being
the A23 dual core and A33 quad core. This will be called the BubaBoard.
We will design the schematics and will outsource the layout mainly due to
routing
DD3 memory which is out of our scope.
Together with the Bubaboard we're designing a baseboard onto which you
slot
the Bubaboard into. This Baseboard will have all connections (audio,
video, USB, etc) in order to use the Bubaboard without the MOD and will be
called MangoBoard.
Both the Buba as the Mango will be released as Open Hardware. We already
released
all ControlChain related hardware as open source and the boards
shall be just the same.
Being hardware designers, our idea is to provide the community with a ARM
Development kit geared towards audio development. We really miss something
like this available in the market as all ARM based development boards are
much more driven to video than audio.
The Mango shall have decent AD/DA codecs and a good audio circuit
sporting
1/4'jacks instead of the lousy 3.5mm jacks featured in most ARM
dev boards.
I've seen lots of projects trying to make use of the RPi or even the
Cubieboard
for audio and I believe our boards shall boost this kind of
initiatives.
Hope to have clarified everyone.
It's one of my goals to keep a open and sincere communication with the
Linux
Audio community and also provide everybody with the knowledge we can
offer.
Unfortunately we don't have infinite resources and thus we depend on
revenue to
offer all we want to. The stretch goals are the way to make it.
Hope you guys understand it.
At each day that passes the MOD Team feels a bit more proud of being part
of such a
cool community as this.
Kind regards to all
Gianfranco Ceccolini
The MOD Team.

But,
if you ever wished to donate the project, I would kindly ask you to
back the MOD Kickstarter campaign here:

>>> If the campaign reaches
U$100.000 the MOD Duo will offer an Audio
Interface from it's USB connection. This means that when you plug the MOD
Duo to your computer you will be presented with a 4 input audio device (two
pre-processed + two post-processed) that can be used for recording the
MOD's audio directly to your favorite software.

cost the price of a MOD Duo.
