I recently snagged a Zoom H5 on eBay for a great price (140GBP) and have really been loving it.
what is great is not only can you use it as a mic and recorder (and it can be bus powered),
but you can also use it as an audio interface for the Organelle … so you get a great stereo mic, and also 2 channels for external input source.
basically setup it up as an external audio interface (see my earlier post for details)
but basically, you’ll want pd-opts.txt with something like
-audiodev 7 -audiobuf 8this says use audio device 7 (H5) and also increase the audio buffer… I found the default (4) to be too low, probably due to the extra load caused by USB traffic
Id been eyeing up a Zoom H4N for quite a while, and wish I hadn’t waited to buy one, its such a versatile device.
