Hello all! This may be a generic topic, but I am wondering how many of you guys are using your Pisound setups when playing live, and what steps you take to make sure you get solid performance and reliability when whacking it on your board. I’m keen what whack mine in a rack, but power would be pro…

Once we get all the control voltage stuff working it would be interesting to see if you could create a pedal board that would add a saxophone and trumpet synth sound.

The potential is huge! Id love to get a second Pisound for purely live use alongside a clip on microphone. It will be great to have a brass section in a box’ setup. Next challenge for me with my current setup is to find the best way to use my melaudio MidiCommander with patchbox :sunglasses:

I actually looked at that device before I built my own. I’m assuming you’re wanting to control effects on a MODEP pedalboard with that device, correct? If so, it’s easy to do from within the MODEP interface.

Thats right buddy. I want to make my own long term, but Im a software giy rather than a hardware guy, and wouldnt be cinfident that what id build would look good, ha ha. The MIDI Commander is great, it is solid and has two expression inputs too. It has a few midi modes, so just need to find the b…

Well if it helps I’m also a software guy but I built my own anyway. And I think it looks good. Right now it’s basically a stateless midi controller much like what you have but at some point I will modify the code to talk to MODEP. [PXL_20220828_172630443]

Ah please keep me posted with your work mate. I love all of what youve said there, ha ha. One day Id like to build an Arduino Mega-based controller wjth everything I’d need; buttons to cycle boards in MODEP, plenty of buttons to toggle effects in the boards, a sizeable (touch?)screen, plus two expr…

Here’s another pic of mine with the expression pedal. Mine uses the Raspberry Pi Pico W and CircuitPython from Adafruit ( https://circuitpython.org/ ). I chose Circuit python over MicroPython because Circuit Python had support for MIDI. ’ If you’re interested you can read more about my custom devi…

Thanks for this! I have a few Picos, I love them, and prefer circuitpython too. I use two of them for keyboard shortcuts for work, both if them using the RGB 4x4 button pads. I’ll study your build and plan something. Were you ever tempted to build the Pi and Pisound into your box? Id like to, if…

Good question about the integration of the Pi and Pisound into my custom box. I actually thought about that after the fact but in my case I chose to not go that route. Mostly because I already had a Pi, Pisound and the Pisound enclosure from Blokas. And since I help out with compiling/uploading/t…

Thats exactly whybinwant a second one ha ha, one to quickly use when I fancy, and one to build into an all-in-one beasty for gigs. I love the treefallsound one, it just lacks the amount of buttons I like :blush:

Changing pedalboards with external controllers is unexpectedly tricky, but it’s possible, if you can get Program Change messages to send. See my reply here for some information on this topic: Another try with Rig Kontrol 3 - #7 by Giedrius
