Brume — desktop multi-timbral instrument

01 · Compute Module 5

CM5

Compute Module 5. Quad-core ARM A76, 8 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC, wireless.

02 · Carrier board

Carrier Board

CM5 IO Board with USB OTG for multi-channel audio and MIDI to your DAW. HDMI, GPIO, Ethernet.

04 · Software

Software

Brume installs onto Raspberry Pi OS Lite. The brumectl CLI adds the runtime packages, labwc/webkitgtk shell, audio config, presets, and systemd service; --update refreshes the binary and factory presets over SSH.

05 · Reference controller

Controller

Korg nanoKONTROL2 is the reference USB-MIDI controller — 8 knobs, 8 faders, transport, and per-strip S/M/R. Brume ships with a default CC-mapping JSON plus a Lua starter script.

06 · Deep-control surface

Deep surface

Novation Launch Control XL 3 positions as the deeper control option — 24 endless encoders, 8 faders, 16 pads, transport. In development as a first-class surface: dedicated CC-mapping JSON with a per-engine page layout, Lua starter scripts.

07 · Open control layer

Extend

Plug in a class-compliant MIDI controller, touch MIDI learn, save the mapping, then shape the behavior in Lua. Map a controller you like, then share the mapping and a starter script so everyone gets it out of the box.
