Artist / Musician / Creative Coder
"Like many musicians, I sit in front of a computer most of the day. When we look away from the screen and the office, this often happens at the expense of the flexibility offered by modern software.
For the first time, I could take my favourite software elements into more demanding environments, like live studio production, with Dubby. One moment, a crazy effects machine; the next, maybe a synthesizer - and I can choose how distinctive and fine-tuned everything should be. A Swiss Army knife, where I chose the blade myself.
In the world of dedicated audio hardware, other flexible solutions often cost 4-5 times as much. So, it's right to recommend Dubby to my friends - the other geeks and those who want to plug and play."
Dubby is the revolutionary music hardware for electronic musicians that every artist needs. It's programmable in popular software development languages like Gen (Max), Pure Data, and C++ (with plans to support Rust and Arduino).
Change existing programs and make them entirely new. Upload new audio effects and synthesizers straight from your browser. With Dubby, you'll have endless possibilities for creativity and artistic expression.
