PiSound And Pedalboard

[PuffinIsland]

Can anyone give insight about this please -my Pisound arrived today but sound from a line level synth in is somewhat distorted, how do I affect the mixer levels in software (or can I only use the pots?)-thanks.

Pedalboard keeps dropping connection, it’s accessed via Chromium on the Pi via Ethernet-it’s making editing and testing a board almost useless.

Pedalboard hits almost 99% cpu with sometimes only 2 pedals loaded, I am on 3pib+; is this what I should be expecting?

I’m a little disappointed with the usability of this to be honest.

Keep the Pisound’s input gain knob at minimum level - it only affects the amplification of an incoming signal. Reduce the output volume on your synth so the loudest notes don’t trigger the clip LED.

Check for any messages in the MODEP services or kernel logs. Use your computer / laptop / tablet on the same network to open http://<your_pi_ip>/ to edit the pedalboard.

This will also help reduce the CPU usage on the device itself.
