## Scarlett Gen 4 Support
|
||||
|
||||
Focusrite recently released 3 new "Generation 4" interfaces: Solo,
|
||||
2i2, and 4i4. I have created a fundraiser to specifically request
|
||||
assistance purchasing one of each so I can add support for them as
|
||||
well: https://gofund.me/ae997781
|
||||
2i2, and 4i4. Thanks to all the Linux Musicians who donated so I could
|
||||
purchase one of each Gen 4 interface: https://gofund.me/ae997781,
|
||||
support for these is coming soon.
|
||||
|
||||
Thank you!
|
||||
## Vocaster Support
|
||||
|
||||
I will be getting a Vocaster One and a Vocaster Two soon. Once the
|
||||
Scarlett Gen 4 support is complete, I'll start working on support for
|
||||
those.
