Hi all,
Some of you might know me from the work I've done to enable Linux support for the Focusrite Scarlett 2nd and 3rd Generation interfaces. As these interfaces are pretty popular, I've been on a mission to ensure we all can make the most out of them without having to revert to other OSs for configuration.
Focusrite dropped exciting news last week with the release of their "4th Generation" Solo, 2i2, and 4i4 devices.
The challenge is that getting Linux support for these devices requires having access to them for in-depth hands-on testing and development. Historically, support for the Gen 2 and Gen 3 came well after product release (2 years for Gen 2 and 1 year for Gen 3).
This time around, I'm aiming to be more proactive. Rather than waiting, I've set up a fundraiser so I can procure each new device and get the Linux support done ASAP.
If you're interested in supporting this endeavor or just curious, here's the link to the fundraiser: https://gofund.me/71f94a9c
Thank you for considering this, and if you have any questions or feedback, please let me know.
In case the fundraiser exceeds the goal, then I will also procure and add support for the missing products in the Focusrite Vocaster and Clarett+ series.
Best regards,
Geoffrey.
