Editor's Overview

openDSP-4x4 is a connectivity application developed by Ian Williams, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.2 weighing in at 1.61 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 1.61 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Ian Williams" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

openDSP-4x4 is an open-source control app for the t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini Pro, a 4-in / 4-out XLR digital signal processor that otherwise ships with Windows-only editor software. It lets you set the DSP up from an Android phone or tablet — at the desk or on stage — connected over USB-OTG.

The control protocol was reverse-engineered clean-room, purely by observing the device's USB-HID traffic and probing it (write a known value, read it back, match the bytes). The same protocol drives a zero-install desktop web app (WebHID) and this Android build. On Android the UI runs in a WebView and reaches the device through a small native USB-host layer, because no Android browser can talk to a HID device.

Features:

* Input/output routing matrix.
* Gain, mute and polarity per channel.
* 7-band parametric EQ with high- and low-pass crossovers.
* Compressor, gate and output delay.
* Preset recall and store (7 device slots) as quick launch pads.
* Live input/output meters and full device-state read-back on connect.

Privacy:

* No analytics, no telemetry, no network connections — the app talks only to the DSP over USB.

Plug the DSP into the phone with a data-capable USB-OTG cable, tap Connect, grant the USB permission, and the app reads the device's current state and is ready to edit.
