Patchbox without Pi Sound

Patchbox OS
1

Hi troops,

Hope you’re all well. Came across this site earlier this morning while researching a way to use Guitarix (or similar) for live guitar. I love what this is all about :slight_smile:

Given that there are no Pi Sounds in stock, do you know how feasible it is to just get a raspberry pi (5…?) → install patchbox os → use my USB interface (Focusrite, class compliant) plus maybe a USB or MIDI foot controller to switch patches etc?

I’m a Linux user and fairly well-versed already with Linux audio etc but have very little experience with the pi and ARM stuff in general. Is it easy to manage and configure MODEP / patchbox os using a Linux laptop for example? As opposed to hooking up a keyboard and monitor etc.

Thanks again in advance :slight_smile:

Hey, yes, everything is detailed in these two pages:

Personally, I use only ssh and VNC to control the Raspberry Pi, only the most extreme circumstances require for a monitor and keyboard. :slight_smile:

Btw, we expect to have new stock of Pisound available later this month.

Amazing, thank you Giedrius. The documentation is fantastic by the way.

As soon as I’ve got my hands on a Pi, I look forward to getting started…!

Thanks again :slight_smile:
