Two decks for the EUPHONIA, on a Raspberry Pi 5.
An SD image for a Raspberry Pi 5 + Screen. Flash it, plug in and bring digital magic to the beauty of vinyl and rotary mixing!
The whole setup is two cables.
One cable powers the deck. The other runs from the deck to the USB-C port on the EUPHONIA, and it carries all four mixer channels in both directions, plus the master for recording. There's no laptop or audio interface in between.
Selector on PC
Set a channel's input selector to PC and that channel plays the Nero Deck, in DVS mode with a control record or in CDJ mode. The timecode from the turntable reaches the deck by itself, so there's nothing to set up on the mixer.
Back to PHONO
Set it back to PHONO and the turntable plays straight through the mixer as usual. Put a normal record on and play it like you always do.
Bluetooth on any channel
Pair a phone in the deck's settings and send it to CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4.
What it does
Two decks, DVS or CDJ
Put a Serato CV02 control record on a turntable and the deck follows it through the EUPHONIA's phono input. Needle drops, scratching and backspins work the way you'd expect. If you don't want a record on one of the decks, switch it to CDJ mode and use PLAY, CUE and SYNC on the screen.
Your music
Browse your Diggy collection (your own records, digitised with getdiggy.app) or any USB stick. Every track shows its key and BPM, and the ♪ MATCH button hides tracks that won't mix with what's on the other deck.
Keylock, SYNC and loops
Keylock keeps the key steady when you change the tempo, and you can switch it on or off in the middle of a track without the beat moving. SYNC matches a CDJ-mode deck to the tempo and beat of the other deck. Loops of 4, 8 or 16 beats snap to the beat grid. WAVES shows the waveforms of both decks one above the other, so you can see if the beats line up. If a beat grid is off, you fix it once and the deck remembers.
Recording
REC records the EUPHONIA's master output over the same USB cable, at 96 kHz / 24-bit. The deck writes a tracklist and a CUE sheet while you play. When you're done, copy the set to a USB stick at the deck or download it to your phone.
Live stream link
The first time the deck goes online it gets its own public address, like yourdeck.nerodeck.com (that one is an example you can open). Press GO LIVE and anyone with the link can listen in a browser. It works on a venue's guest Wi-Fi, and you don't have to change any router settings.
Phone remote
Scan the QR code on the deck's screen with a phone or laptop on the same Wi-Fi and you get a remote. From there you can load tracks, set trim, EQ, filter and faders, and get to your recordings.
Bluetooth in and out
The EUPHONIA doesn't have Bluetooth, so the deck adds it. Pair a phone and play it into any channel from CH1 to CH4, for a request or a voice note. You can also send the master to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones. Both pair from the deck's settings.
What your listeners see
The stream plays on your deck's own web page, in any browser. Listeners don't need an app or an account.
What you need
Set up for the EUPHONIA already
It took months of trial and error to get a Pi working properly with the EUPHONIA. All of that is on the image, so you don't have to do it yourself.
It's free
No price and no account. Email us about your setup and we'll get you a copy of the image. Write it to a microSD card, boot the Pi and plug in the EUPHONIA. That takes about ten minutes.

Made for the EUPHONIA
Nero Deck is written for the EUPHONIA: its USB audio, its phono stages and its four channels. It doesn't support other mixers. If you're on a DJM, we can try. Contact us!
