Update to Mod 1.10

deathbeard · March 31, 2021, 7:48am

Hey guys, has anyone seen the stable release of mod 1.10 is out? Anyone tried to get this running under patchbox or on Pi?

protectorate · April 28, 2021, 8:07am

I’m interested in this also.

deathbeard · May 18, 2021, 11:57am

I see that the Zynthian guys have managed to update to 1.10. I’m gonna try use their recipes to update my install.

A zynthian user mentions the patchbx recipes in a May 26 post here.

The world is circular…

Yip, that’s me. Struggling to get the IR plugin to show the IRs. The rest is good!!

MrHaste · May 30, 2021, 12:20am

Also keen! Tried building things but ended up breaking everything

deathbeard · May 30, 2021, 8:27am

I can share my script with you if you like. It’s about 98% done, but it’s just the IR loader list that’s not populating. DM me and I’ll send it to you

MrHaste · May 31, 2021, 12:47pm

Ooh yeah the IR Loader is what I’m after. Perhaps I can help. How do I dm on this forum?!

deathbeard · May 31, 2021, 1:44pm

I have DM’d you @MrHaste

I have the IR cabsim working correctly!! I have a script for patchbox os and soon I will have one for elk audio os too. Must say that the IR’s that I’ve tried so far are sounding amazing!!

drandaji · June 1, 2021, 10:14pm

Dude, that’s awesome! Elk too! I can wait to try out the IR’s.

protectorate · June 10, 2021, 8:14am

Any chance of sharing the scripts?

deathbeard · June 10, 2021, 9:51am

I will upload to GitHub later today with all the instructions required.

deathbeard · June 14, 2021, 11:59am

Alright, so here is the link to my GitHub. Please note that this only installs 4 LV2 plugins. It would be best if you copy your MODEP plugins folder to a local directory(I use winscp) before installing and then copy them back to ~patch/.lv2

git clone https://github.com/micahvdm/mod.git
cd mod
sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

Hello deathbeard,

I tried to follow your instructions but unfortunately I ran into some errors.
The first mistake I’ve got was because I cloned the repo into the home directory with the name “mod” and the script wants to create a directory with the same name in this folder After that I had to delete the “/home/patch/.lv2” that was created by the script in line 15. I think in line 104 the option -r is missing. Also I’m not sure if the filenames of the services are correct. For example mod-host.service is named modep-mod-host.service in my version (latest Modep-Image, freshly installed). Do you use another version of Modep?

Now I’m facing the problem that mod-ui service (i renamed the file to modep-mod-ui and replaced the old one with it) won’t start.
sudo journalctl -r --unit modep-mod-ui gives the following output:

Jul 01 08:11:23 patchbox systemd[1]: modep-mod-ui.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I really don’t get it and would be so glad if you could help me!

Hey @mgcmshr I have updated the script a bit.

Please note that you need to run this on a clean patchbox install. DO NOT INSTALL MODEP. It will clash with MODEP.
The script will now use Mod-Host hotfix-1.10 branch as the master doesn’t work properly due to recent changes.

I have also added that the clone folder gets renamed first before it clones anything else.

Please clone and run the script on a fresh install of patchbox without activating any modules.

This is not MODEP, but pure Mod.

mgcmshr · July 1, 2021, 6:23pm

Thank you very much @deathbeard!!!

There was a little problem before moving the .service files to the system folder. A cd into this directory is missing but i just separated this last part from the script and ran it afterwards.
It’s working now. I had to change some settings in the mod-ui.service and set connections manually.
I assume that the IR files have to be placed into the ~/data/user-files/Speaker Cabinets IRs folder?!

I think IRs are pushing the guitar sound to a new level! I love it!

FYI: I used a Pi 4 8GB

Before I completely overwrite my current installation do you know if this will work if I simply uninstall he modep packages on an existing installation?

deathbeard · July 4, 2021, 8:54am

I would suggest using a separate SD card to test this out. From my experience, there are a lot of errors and issues with installing it on a setup that had MODEP running already, just due to services etc.

Giedrius · July 5, 2021, 7:07am

It can be uninstalled by removing all APT packages that start with ‘modep’ To install it back again, do sudo apt install modep
