I figured that would be what i would need to do run pd with -nogui and arduino stuff that Hans wrote for the potentiometer control a simple toggle on the faceplate that switches between maybe 5 patches that are unavailable in traditional analogia
1.) Phase Locking vocoder 2.) Granular synthesis 3.) FFT of some sort 4.) Sample and Hold, still need a patch that takes in a live osc~ 5.) a waveform patch that loads a simple osc~/phasor for RIngMod/Am/FM etc...
The other issue is that the raspi that i have does NOT have a line in, only a line out for sound i bought a little USB soundblaster card for that to see if i can get audio in to a ADC~
One of the cards using the digital audio interfaces is probably a better idea, to avoid all the very poor USB on the RPi.
I've used the Wolfson ones and they have proved very reliable (the main issue for me is that I can't use them directly from the GPU since I can't set them as the default output ... but via alsa from userspace they are great). They take a bit of setting up (a custom kernel which works fine with raspbian wheezy at least, plus a few scripts) but then are very flexible and control-able via alsa, including the ability to choose which audio clocks to use.
The version for the older models ... http://www.adafruit.com/products/1761
There are also versions for the + models using the 40pin breakout.
There are also cards which have fewer in-out options but they are probably easier to use, I have not tried them .... https://www.hifiberry.com/

PS
I have some notes from a project here that may help setting the wolfsons up, a bit rambling but do have some useful info ...

there is apparently a recently updated kernel for raspbian wheezy here ...
