Regular visitors to the site will know we're big fans of the Raspberry Pi mini computer - a small format, mobile phone processor powered computer with astonishing capabilities. We use three of them  here for a vairety of applications, from controlling cameras to tally lights for the studio to showing real-time stats on a big screen.

In this excellent project by Samplerbox.com, you can make your very own MIDI sample playback instrument, for around £50.

They have a simple how to with parts list and instructions on the project, which you can build yourself  - though you will need a little experience in this sort of thing.
