Pepper Eurorack Module Lets You Run Pure Data, Supercollider & Csound In Your Modular Synthesizer

Developers of Bela – a low-latency embedded computing platform for high-quality audio applications – shared this overview of Pepper, a DIY Eurorack Bela module for synth builders.

They say it’s the easiest way to get a Bela into your synthesizer case and, once assembled, will give you a fully programmable module. If you’re a developer, you can code synth patches using C++, Pure Data, Supercollider and Csound.

Pepper features:

  • Stereo audio I/O
  • 8 CV inputs (up to 4 can be swapped for trigger ins)
  • 8 CV offset potentiometers (normalised to analog inputs)
  • 8 CV outputs
  • 4 buttons
  • 10-LEDs
