New here, have some questions

Hey, thank you for the kinds words

@SilentNight

I’m sure this has been asked before but is there any way to run x86 or x64 VST2 or VST3 plugins on it? I know emulation will come with a big performance hit but I am running it on a Pi 4 4GB. If even that wouldn’t be enough I’d still like to give it a try just for fun.

I did run x86 software through qemu for flashing an external ARM CPU connected via USB, but it was taking 3 minutes compared to around 15 seconds running roughly the same code, compiled natively for ARM, so in theory it would be possible to run x86 VST plugins, in practice you’d get a very slow offline effect processor.

@SilentNight

Are there any good LV2 plugins not included with MODEP I should pick up? Specifically I’d love some more bass amps.

You can use any LV2 plugins you find, as long as you put them in /usr/modep/lv2 folder, they won’t have a nice GUI, but you can still access all of the parameters through the plugin’s settings menu. MODEP already comes with all open source plugins that had nice GUIs available.

• In MODEP is there a way to change the button to press once to cycle pedalboard presets? I find the default method slightly annoying.

• The pisound android app disconnects every ten or so seconds. How can I fix this?

See Patchbox OS image 2020-03-14 (and MODEP) - #32 by edwillys - it seems to be some sort of bug in system libraries that was there when the image was generated, a software upgrade should fix it.

@SilentNight

Is there some sort of database/community to download/share MODEP presets?

Not yet, but https://patchstorage.com/ may be a good candidate. @Pranciskus
