Sad news, I was not aware of the situation fully, being that I was so busy and I discovered just today this post from @redcloud. I hope you can find your way for the restart. I’m not a baker, I’m the developer of a Mod derivative product called Aida DSP OS. I can’t contribute with money at the moment, but
-
here you can find a yocto layer for a mod duo. It will builds you an os image where the duo software is running. This is currently the base layer that I use to build Aida DSP OS images. Still some help is needed to finish the recipes for the plugins, I think 20-30 recipes are missing more or less.

EDIT: one thing that cames “for free” with yocto is a full sdk that weights only 180MB and let me cross compile everything that needs to run on the device without the need to fire a build for cross-compiling only a plugin. This is really helpful for developers and wished Mod could have one similar one day. So that developers can test their plugins staying away from build complexity (and also a huge time saving).
I’ve always found difficult to match the product with competitors that focus a lot on amp sims. If we talk about synths, I think no original sample pack has been ever released specifically for the Duo or I am wrong?
I’m trying to contribute myself to both issues, also receiving feedback from my customers, or people I meet at local faires that share their views:
-
I’m releasing an amp sim plugin for the Dwarf with the help of the community for testing. It is based on a novel technique (neural networks) and is promising. I would say incredible timing. I did it specifically for Mod and derivatives.
-
the guide for training models for the above plugin
-
I’ve did a lot of tests with samples by simply registering selected notes from my Kontakt library and rebuild the instrument in sfz or sf2. I’ve realized it’s an incredible hack, considering to play their library on a standalone device I have to spend 1k+eur for Maschine+. I find it hard to believe one could not start a collaboration with one of the dozens studios that produce and sell professional samples. Who knows maybe in future?
This is all I can do at the moment, hope it is useful somehow
