Hypno Hardware Versions
Hypno is based on the Raspberry Pi mini-computer. The Hypno works with most Pis currently in production to allow for greatest supply flexibility and device
The different Pis have a few hardware differences and wether you want to use your Hypno in the Eurorack will dictate which Pi is best for your needs, the Pi is
user switchable and source-able by the user (try rpilocator.com) so acquiring a single setup does not prevent you from converting your Hypno to one that is

Note: The Hypno Enclosure is made to support all the PIs at once so the A+ USB port is
inset a bit deeper into the enclosure and harder to access when used standalone. For
this reason we recommend using the other Pis if youre primarily looking to use Hypno
standalone.

Each of Hypno’s buttons represent a preset slot. Holding 2 buttons lets you access the slot on the 3rd button. Presets save the state of all of Hypno’s controls in all of the pages, if a video or image is loaded it is saved via its filename. - Page 10 MIDI Hypno can act as a USB-MIDI host through its front micro-USB port (or rear USB-A ports), allowing you to edit or animate the module’s parameters with MIDI control- lers, keyboards and more. In some cases, a USB OTG (microUSB adapter) is neces- sary.
