A complete software development kit for building effect pedals using Elk Audio.
Start prototyping on your desktop today, move to hardware when you're ready.
The dev kit is a complete desktop environment. Drive a mocked Elk Stomp, load real VSTs into Sushi, and iterate as fast as you can save a file.
Every control on the physical pedal — OLED, encoders, eight pots, switches, RGB and red LEDs, the four-position rotary — emits the same events as the real hardware. Develop and debug without plugging anything in.
Sushi is Elk's headless audio engine. Add plugins from a menu, patch them into a track, and map their parameters to the controllers on the mocked pedal — all without writing audio code. A growing library of open-source VSTs is one click away.
The same project runs unchanged on the Elk Stomp development board. Flash it, plug in, and hear it through real converters.
