Satellite CCRMA by Edgar Berdahl and Wendy Ju Satellite CCRMA is a platform for building embedded musical instruments and embedded art installations. Used by artists and engineers alike, Satellite CCRMA integrates together open-source software and hardware components including some novel software. Most importantly, Satellite CCRMA comes with examples that make it possible for new users to get up and running within a matter of minutes.

(Or connect to mini-loudspeakers instead of headphones)
