Dubby development timeline
Our journey from concept to cutting-edge audio innovation.
Explore the milestones that shaped Dubby.
2022
First prototypes and proof of hardware and software concepts
First prototype of Dubby created. Focused on developing a flexible, open-source audio platform and proving the concept of an instrument-oriented design with modular software environment where users could easily move audio algorithm protoypes from Max/gen and C++ to a standalone embedded device, with a single command or click from the computer. The project was featured at the annual Sound & Music Computing Conference and got accepted to the Sound Tech Incubator and Beyond Beta development programmes. The foundation for Dubby and our core collaborators was found and made.
2023
Modular side-panel development and integration, redesigned audio circuits, started ambassador team, and made great software leaps
Improved audio and power circuits. Reduced onboard noise and total harmonic distortion. Added controls on both sides of Dubby as modular and interchangeable side-panels. Redesigned push-buttons for longevity and better tactile experience. Developed two new side-panels; sliders and footswitch controller inputs. Onboarded first artists to our Ambassador Team <3
2024
Software platform launch, Kickstarter success, and our first self-organised event with artists performing with Dubby live on stage
Introduced Dubby.Studio, libDubby, dubbyPlayground (C++ getting started environment), gentry (gen getting started environment), got 700% funded on Kickstarter. Grew Ambassador Team x 10. Got featured by DivKid and Sonic State. Hosted a packed Dubby Launch Party event at local nightclub in Copenhagen. Got the prestigious and lucrative Innofounder, Danish Startup Grant.
2025
Finishing hardware- and software eco system, got backed by SoundInvest and EIFO.
Grew international user base and expanded open-source collaboration features. Decided to add SD-Card port, dedicated headphone amp, and upgraded 9V power supply (alongside USB-C power) free of charge to all Kickstarter backers. Pushed the Kickstarter delivery date accordingly to the new hardware improvements. Started the move from prototype to mass-production. Finished and refactored libDubby - crucial step before moving onto developing full gen compatibility. Optimised PCB-layout, hardware case design and production. Growing algorithm library - new synthesizers and side-chain input algorithms. Onboarded first community developers. And much more to come!
2026
Deliver Kickstarter Dubbys and grow our user base and software ecosystem
Deliver Dubbys and hardware expansions to all Kickstarter backers <3 Grow the algorithm library by 10x. Beta-test Dubby Visual Builder - the visual browser-based audio algorithm builder. Activate the community aspect of Dubby.Studio and open the marketplace for self-developed algorithms. Host a Dubby Delivery Party! Go on a retail tour to visit our selected retailers worldwide. Meet and high-five as many of you amazing beings who have already joined - or will join - our community.
