Could you go into a little more detail about disabling ALSA mixer / GPIO / serialport midi and about how to change the sample rate in code? Any clue will do! Thanks!
Hello All -
I am new to this Forum - please take some pity on me. I have already successfully installed Pisound on a bare RPi4B/8Gb. It works fine.
I had previously installed SamplerBox on the same RPi4B using the instructions on the original site (~ Joseph Ernest site.) It worked fine. That was before the Pisound card arrived.
I posted earlier tonight here (and then deleted/ revised post with thei new version)ā¦ asking for suggestions on how to manually install SamplerBox on top of the Patchbox OS/ Pisound/ RPi4B combo. I kept getting errors related to rtmidi-python. I then re-read all the samplerbox posts here on the forum and see that the clear concensus is to not use the original SamplerBox.org code but rather the http://homspace.xs4all.nl/homspace/samplerbox/ code. I will try that tomorrow.
So, I guess my only question isā¦ is it really true that I cannot install samplerbox āon top ofā the Patchbox OS? It seems from all the comments above that everyone is being recommended to perform a new install of the āhomspace.xs4all.nlā ISO image to a clean microSD cardā¦ then change the audio rate settings from 44kHz to 48kHz and the Pisound card is recognized? Then if I want to run the other Patchbox OS modules (ORAC, Pure Data, Super Collider, etc) - I need to swap SD cards and reboot the whole system?
I can do thatā¦ it just seemsā¦ like a missed opportunity to have everything in one OS.
I also saw in other threads here that there had been talk of incorporating SampleBox into the original Patchbox OS distributionā¦ then followup comments that itās roll out had been delayed ~ 2017. Did this ever happen? Is it still likely to happen?
Thank you.
I love the Pisound (and Midihub) products I now own.
Probably you can get it to work on Patchbox OS, as long as it is configured correctly. What are the exact errors youāre getting when trying to do so?
http://homspace.xs4all.nl/homspace/samplerbox/ does not work anymore 
I guess Iām still subscribed to this threadā¦ Sorry to hear that Samplerbox isnāt working. I havenāt tried using it for several years. When I last posted on this thread in 2023, I had just purchased a PiSound - hoping to access the superior audio quality of the PiSound hardware to allow me to implement Samplerbox. All I wanted to do was play multisamples on the PiSound via my MIDI keyboard. Never managed to make that happen. Eventually, I moved onā¦ falling into eurorack HARD in late 2023. Now I have both a Disting EX and Rossum Assimil8or in eurorack and a Norns shield - all of which excel at playing multisamples via MIDI. I tried to login to my PiSound box a couple months agoā¦ monkeyed around with it for a few hours just trying to remember how to run MODEPā¦ and failed. I think itās the sort of device that rewards regular useā¦ and I see so many people listed on these forums making the PiSound so great thingsā¦
But my advice if you want to run multisamples is: 1) use Decent Sampler (I think he was involved at some point with Samplerbox?), 2) use Norns Shield on a Raspberry Pi, 3) donāt get into eurorackā¦ tons of fun, but SO expensiveā¦ Iām afraid to add up how many $k Iāve spent now. Could have just bought that Jupiter 8 instead.
