[PD] pd running on STM32F429

2015-05-31 Thread Gary Hall
I'm looking to get pd up and running either under this BSP,
http://emcraft.com/products/343 or some versions of Debian on ARM, as a
step toward running it in a family of Eurorack synthesizer modules that use
the same processor, including this one of my design which is getting some
favorable attention now. https://youtu.be/Li5-V0g5Upk.
https://youtu.be/Li5-V0g5Upk
Right now it's hard-coded in C. The idea is that pd will streamline spinoff
modules and alternate firmware.

Does anyone have relevant experience or advice for me? Many thanks!

Re: [PD] olimex board

2015-05-31 Thread Raphaël Ilias
Hello,

Updating this thread about Olimex's OlinuXino board (A20-LIME  A20-LIME2)
I still get the following error (in fact the console gets filled with
dozens of them in a few seconds) :

ALSA output error (restart failed): Broken pipe

And the all DSP gets stuck, it is not computed anymore (i.e. [env~]
doesn't output anymore). I tried to make an abstraction to detect that dsp
isn't active and restart it (;pd dsp 0, then ;pd dsp 1 -- the DSP
button stays ticked).

This error appears at every startup of pd, and then randomly, I think
mostly when opening new patcher window or on CPU load peaks. In general,
pd's gui is quite slow (maybe normal on such board), and - don't know if
this is related - sometimes Xorg crashes (I'm using the precooked debian
distribution by Olimex)

I remember to read on this list that Raspberry Pi users should use a
patched version of vanilla for ARM processors, isn't it ? (And Julian also
adviced me to avoid pd-extended)

I think I'll give a try, but is there a little step-by-step howto to
learn how to install this version on a debian ?

Any help much appreciated !

cheers,

Raphaël

  just to add my experience.



 I am now running some Olimex A10-Lime with amplifier boards on a sound
 installation and it works quite stable.



 Test-board see:



 http://puredata.info/docs/embedded/olinuxino/algo_a10board_05_cut.jpg/view



 I compiled jackd myself excluding dbus service so it worked, but did not
 get

 a better performance so I use pd with ALSA directly.

  Hi !

 

  Just to inform you that I'm currently experimenting with Olimex's

  the set-up i use consists of

  - Olimex's A20-OLinuXino-LIME board (dual core Cortex-A7)

  - with their own Debian distribution

  - cheap USB audio interface : Terratec Aureon Dual USB

  - pd-extended 0.43-4

  - patching through VNC (and through Wi-Fi)

 

  And it works.

  ..not as fast as on my laptop, of course, but I can run patches ok.

  yet, the GUI is indeed quite slow (especially opening a patch)

 

  However, I have a few troubles, but it might not be the right place to

  ask...

  I am newbie to debian, so I couldn't setup jack at all. I'm using alsa
 but

  I get the error at startup :

  ALSA output error (restart failed): Broken pipe

  (and also sometimes when opening patche, I get a bunch of these and DSP
 get

  stuck, i need to turn OFF and ON again pd's DSP to get audio back.)

 

  Searching the archive, I saw that some people got the same problem and

  resolved it by suspending/de-installing pulseaudio.

  But it seems that pulseaudio isn't installed here.

  Maybe someone has got a clue, where to search...? (i know this is very

  specific problem !)

 

  all best,

That patched version had a fix for denormal numbers on ARM, but the
fix was included in vanilla Pd soon after. If you use latest vanilla
Pd from Miller's site, chances are best that it will work with an ARM
board. On Raspberry Pi 2 at least it works well for me, but it is
still easy to mess things up: a short current consumption peak may
cause a power brown out which in turn shoots the usb audio card.
Therefore I got used to handle RPi with more care than a robust
laptop: load Pd, wait till it has everything initialized, then turn
dsp on, then load a cpu intensive patch.


 I think I'll give a try, but is there a little step-by-step howto to learn
 how to install this version on a debian ?

Re: [PD] tabread4~ interpolation at slooow playback?

2015-05-31 Thread jamal crawford
hey

Is there any way how to reduce the interpolation noise? Could I use a
low-pass filter whose cutoff frequency I could adapt wrt. playback
speed?

why? the interpolation noise is what makes it sound so unique, so
crunchy, without LP and especially at very sloow playback. with a
good analog tube eq and pair of high end analog compressors, it sounds
like garlic smear in my ears or maybe even chilli mayo :)

Re: [PD] tabread4~ interpolation at slooow playback?

2015-05-31 Thread Jan Baumgart
In my experience, you get the best sounding results when using samples 
recorded with a high samplerate (96kHz), instead of resampling.
