"We spoke to Marc Berendes from Sucofunk about the Beatmaker Sketchbook. This device is a sampler, sequencer, and groovebox that is completely portable and is available in two different versions. The Beatmaker Sketchbook is 100 % open source and can be found on GitHub.
It has a workflow of sample, sketch, arrange, and play, which means users can sample, arrange parts of the sequence, and perform live. The sampler has 24 keys and three banks, which means 72 buttons and keys in total, and each key can be assigned to a sample.
The device can record something or sample from the internal microphone and the line-in connector, or resample something like sequences played back. Sucofunk offers workshops for the device, which takes two days to build and offers pre-order for the devices.

Beatmaker’s sketchbook houses a microphone, a fader, four rotary encoders, 24 keys for two octaves, 12 functional buttons, a display and a via USB rechargeable battery. It can sample through a line-in or the built in microphone, playback via headphones or the line-out connector and communicates with external devices via MIDI.
Beatmaker’s sketchbook comes in different flavors:
Beatmaker’s sketchbook mini
Beatmaker’s sketchbook custom and unique handmade devices
PCB “mainboard” to use it as the base for your own project
The mini version is a 18cm x 11cm x 3cm small device with a weight of 430 grams. Out of the box, the design is bare simple and functional.

Made upon request.
The “motherboard” of the mini version can be used as basis for your own projects like MIDI controllers or freaky synthesizers.
