--period argument for Jack changed to -p 128 from -p 256.
Based on latest Raspbian Stretch Lite OS
Please report any issues you find.
The build files for generating the image are available here: https://github.com/BlokasLabs/modep-gen. Most of the plugins get built in âstage5â, pull requests adding more plugins are welcome! Also if you happen to find a better way to configure the services, etcâŚ, let us know!
You may be able to access the MODEP server using http://modep.local whether youâre connected directly to Pisound WiFi hotspot, or your home router. This is done using mDNS service, however, for it to work on Windows 10 I had to install https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999?locale=en_US (search the net for details why). Up-to-date Mac and Linux systems may be readily able to use mDNS.
Iâve been testing the previous Beta (2018-01-22) and had problems with glitches using it as a synth (FluidSynthLead + MOD Lowpass filter + Phaser II + Stereo Delay), but was able to reduce the glitching by changing JACK to -p 128, instead of -p 256.
I did a clean install of the new image, and setup the same exact pedalboard and had much more glitching.
Iâve also tried changing to -p 256 and even -p 512 plus I tried changing the sample rate to 32000 but nothing seemed to fix the glitches.
So in that case the previous version seems to be better (on my system at least (Raspberry Pi 3 w Pisound)).
I would also love to see some of the MIDI Utilities included in the MODEP image, especially splitting the MIDI input into different channels (i.e. filtering out unwanted channels).
Thatâs odd, I canât think of anything significant that changed and would cause this right now. I will try to play around with the same pedalboard setup.
Thanks @Giedrius, it will be interesting to see what is causing these small clicks and glitches
(I can hear them in the âfactoryâ pedalboard Organ as well, but not quite so much)
Hi, I have tried the combination as you have described on RPi3 (not B+), and it seems fine to me, no XRUNS occurred, using default settings for jack.
Btw, with Pisound you should use only one of 48000, 96000 or 192000 sampling rates, they are the natively supported ones, others would require software resampling which takes up resources.
Thanks @Giedrius for checking this out;
now that I knew that this should be possible I looked at what else could be different, and all I could think of was the SD card and the PSU.
Turns out Iâd been using the wrong PSU; I was certain that the one I had had a high enough Ampere rating, but I pulled out the wrong one from the drawer - it only was capable of 1A @ 5V. So when I replaced it with a 2A PSU the clicks and pops seem to have disappeared.
Hello, Iâm a new french user.
All is very well working for me on MODEP 2018-04-03.
The only bug (so far) is âAMP VTS Capsâ is not working. This LV2 plugin is broken in this version.
Thanks for all.
Julien.
Hello @jujudusud I can try it tonight, but I remember there were some plugins which were not working for me either. I will confirm if AMP VTS Caps is among these ones
The modep repository on GitHub is for generating the images, itâs based on pi-gen thatâs used to generate the Raspbian images, so the releases tagged there got inherited when forking. Theyâre tags of the generator scripts, not the image itself.
