[Beta] MODEP 2018-01-22

Patchbox OS MODEP
10

Speaking about jack settings, we’re considering using -p 128 in place of -p 256 which should further reduce the latency.

To everyone who is using this beta image, here are the steps to try it out:

  1. ssh to the device from your PC:
    a. ssh modep@modep.local if mDNS is working for you
    b. ssh modep@172.24.1.1 if you have connected to Pisound WiFi hotspot
    c. ssh modep@... where … is the IP assigned to RPi / Pisound by your router.
  2. sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/jack.service
  3. Change -p 256 to -p 128 in line 9
  4. Ctrl+X then Y to save.
  5. sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  6. sudo reboot

Then try playing around with it. This change should slightly reduce the latency, but also the stability may be impacted, so you may get more XRUNs, crackling, etc… Please report on how this change went for you, whether you had any difficulties with your normal use.
