Hi I’ve been playing a bit with patchbox and MODEP I’ve installed xrdp so I can login with the standard windows RDP client, works great (you can also lower GPU’s RAM, I’m on a rpi3 A+). You get a pretty neat GUI, very responsive and you can play around with other cool software. I’ve also install…

Hey, you should try to get everything use Jack directly, then you should be able to customize the audio routings using jack_connect or GUI clients.

Thanks for your answer. OK, how could this be done ? I’ve tried using Patchage but I just get a message saying “Unable to create client” and I have no idea how in jack_connect I could connect modep outputs to some kind of virtual outputs I could see in Reaper as inputs. Can you be more specific ? …

Is Jack running on your system? What’s the output of these commands: cat /etc/environment systemctl status jack

here’s cat /etc/environment JACK_PROMISCUOUS_SERVER=jack PATCHBOX_MODULE_ACTIVE=/usr/local/patchbox-modules/modep/ and here’s jack status: ● jack.service - JACK Server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/jack.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2021-…

It looks fine, Patchage should be able to connect to the running Jack server. Could you start Patchage from within a GUI terminal on your desktop? Just run patchage and see if it provides any additional info in the terminal.

Not sure what could be wrong. Just a wild guess, but maybe Jack is having overruns and is not stable - try again with reconfigured Jack server with increased buffer sizes, like -p 512 -n 3, just to make sure this issue is not caused by too small buffer sizes.

I’m not getting any overruns in MODEP unless I do something heavy (like a backup). Changed Jack settings to -p 512 -n 3: ● jack.service - JACK Server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/jack.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2021-09-20 09:08:34 CEST…

Something must be misconfigured or some incompatible version of some software/library is installed on your system.

OK, I’ll make a fresh install tonight to test this with a new system and report back. Thx
