We’re excited to announce COSMOLAB, a modular development kit designed to empower musicians, makers, educators, and DSP developers to prototype, explore, and create the next generation of audio tools.
COSMOLAB is engineered in collaboration with Alphalab Audio and built on the powerful Daisy platform. It offers a complete open-source environment that merges hardware and software flexibility with a modular design to accelerate the creation of custom instruments and audio devices — from prototype all the way to finished product.
Here’s what COSMOLAB brings to the table:
- 100% Open-Source: All hardware schematics and firmware are freely available for the community.
- 8 Versatile Boards: Including a DSP core based on Daisy Seed, audio inputs and outputs, MIDI, CV/gate, display, potentiometers, and two keyboard boards.
- Expandable Architecture: Easily design and add your own custom boards.
- Familiar Development Tools: Supports Arduino IDE plus visual DSP editors like PureData, PlugData, and Max/MSP.
- Advanced Programming Options: Compatible with Faust, C++, Rust, and AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude, and Gemini CLI.
Whether you’re a maker looking to build custom audio hardware, a developer working with DSP, an educator teaching electronics and sound design, or a musician wanting to experiment with interactive sound, COSMOLAB offers a flexible, accessible platform tailored for you.
We’re currently in pre-launch, and you can sign up for updates on our dedicated landing page at cosmolab.faselunare.com. The official crowdfunding campaign will kick off in September 2025.
You’ll also get the chance to see COSMOLAB live at the upcoming 14th edition of Soundmit — the international synthesizer and electronic music fair — held in Turin from July 4 to 6, 2025.
From concept to market-ready instrument, our partner Alphalab Audio can assist in turning your COSMOLAB prototype into a product you can launch.
We can’t wait to see what you’ll create — whether it’s a granular looper, a touch-sensitive sequencer, or the next DSP synth. The possibilities are truly wide open.
