Raspberry Pi for live impulses etc

[Sloan]

Interested in the raspberry pi as a very portable audio processing solution, specifically guitar amp simulation with impulses. If anyone else has researched or experimented, please post. Found this video that seems promising...

I have done some research on the Arduino side. There are hints of people here and there trying it from what I see but i'm not quite good enough with an Arduino yet to do such a thing. I don't own a Rasperbby Pi but I know they are freaking cool. What I really want to do is make an active DI box with an Arduino.

What is your interest in making a DI with Arduino?

I think the biggest limitations would be the processing power of these types of things, I'm actually surprised at the video of the rasberry pi, but i know people use them to run raspbmc for HD streaming video etc, so they've got a little bit of power...

Definitely like the idea. I've seen a few guys using iPads/Pods/Poos/whatevers for their tone on stage which is pretty much the same premise, just limited to whatever products are available on the iOS system.

Interesting idea!
I did some research and it seems there is no way to install any Windows or Mac OS on it..
One approach would be running your DAW via Wine under Linux.
There is a software that emulates a PI in your Windows environment: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpiqemuwindows/
I'll try if it works that way and post the results here

Well I have done a bunch of Arduino projects and immediately thought about the audio capabilities with it when I got one. If a good DI box circuit could be made with it, then you could not only build your own cheap DI box, but mod it however you like. i.e. active/passive or whatever inputs/links ect. you desire.

Seriously dude it's sort of crazy. Check out the Raspberry pi glasses, I think it's on Instructables. Some guy made a wearable computer that connects to glasses (Google glass LOL).
