hello,

from my actual experience,
pure data vanilla runs nicely on the raspbPI with Raspbian (apt-get 
install puredata), and I just tested it with a cheap Konig bmc2700 usb 
soundcard and it sound way better than with the internal audio out. 
(using pd in GUI mode and LXDE)

I also could read a ogg vorbis file with gst-launch with good quality.
I'll probably use it for an installation I'm working on...

 Ah, wow, that's crazy.  Has anyone yet tried out any USB audio interfaces
 on the RPi yet?  I have one handy that I can try but not until I get these
 client projects out of the way ;)

 I'm extremely curious if using a supported external audio interface solves
 all the sound problems or if there are also still alsa issues.  I'm also now
 wondering who will be the first to come out with an RPi audio shield ;)

 This renews my interest in modifying the RPi design to make a Pd-friendly
 board that's intended to be headless with a built-in quality DAC.  But
 without RPi's supply chain hookups, it'd be quite hard to keep the price
 down to the RPi's level!

Fun fun.  I left them a nice comment.  I still don't think it's ready
to use until someone figures out how to get it to enable real-time
scheduling - see James Dunn's post saying he has to run the latency up

Re: [PD] Pd on a headless Raspberry Pi

2012-08-29 Thread Pierre Massat
Nope, I used a randomly generated sequence of notes made with phasors,
ranging from 0 to 127 on the midi scale.
Anyway, the quality of the analog output is not what concerns me here,
since it sounds ok with aplay. The problem is that the same type of sound
generated directly in Pd makes an awful lot of noise when i launch Pd at
start-up, though it sounds ok on the hdmi output.
Maybe it's something about the samplerate, no idea really.

It's a pity that no real serious documentation exists on how the audio
works (like the fact that the analog output is switched off when the hdmi
in plugged in : is it in the hardware ? can it be configured to not work
this way ?).

I'll try an ask on the RPi forum.

Nicorette is a brand that sells patches to stop smoking in France. I
thought it was funny :)

 I planned to test that thoroughly, since I also noticed some differences
 in using aplay and pd.
 I think I mentioned that here in a different thread.
 However, I don't find the time in moment, so that'll have to wait.
 But I need a proper audio dongle anyway since I need inputs - so my focus
 is more to get my head around this audio stuff in Linux.

  It's a pity that no real serious documentation exists on how the audio
 works (like the fact that the analog output is switched off when the hdmi

 sudo amixer cset numid=3 1should do that  hdmi is a 2 instead
 of the 1 .

 That's permanent, if I'm not mistaken.
 From:
 http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/44/why-is-my-audio-sound-output-not-working
 I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago.

 Admittedly I've virtually no experience with Linux-audio, I'm spoiled by
 Macs.  :-\
 So I don't know where alsa puts this information about the outputs.

 yeah, it's an old brand. Just wondered if you try to stay away from

Re: [PD] Pd on a headless Raspberry Pi

2012-08-29 Thread geoffroy

Great thread, I join the list mainly to work on such a a project, it's quite 
exciting to think of having a portable programmable open source synth engine on 
the PI with a portable midi controller. I am working with the AKAI mini mpk, 
which has pad and keys and knob and nice feature like arpeggiator, sustain and 
program and prog change which is nice for such a small device.

With the PI the alsa is in alpha development on the arm platform and therefor 
won't be at it's best for a little while. The floating point integration in the 
latest system made the audio a lot better, as on the first gen OS of the PI the 
audio was just impossible.

I tried to play with chuck for a while, and it created a lot of audio garbage. 
I think it will be a hit and miss until the ALSA is stable enough sadly. I read 
also that using usb headphone made the sound even better, but I haven't tried 
that myself.

For the HDMI out what did you use? A dac from the HDMI ? I am looking for a 
simple solution to convert the HDMI to analog whether as a DIY simple solution 
or a really small and portable interface that could be boxed with the PI.

  This is what I'm curious about; who is doing this alsa development,
 where,
  and can we pitch in?  We are all interested  in getting the sound
 working
  better on the Pi...
 
  That said, it seems like the jury is out on if it's an alsa problem or
 a
  Pd problem.  I seem to have experienced both.

[PD] Pd on a headless Raspberry Pi

2012-08-28 Thread Pierre Massat
Hi all,

I succesfully ran Pd on a headless Raspberry Pi (which is no big feat per
se. I've written a tutorial here :
http://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/running-pd-on-a-headless-raspberry-pi/),
but i'm getting a really heavily distorted sound from the analog output.
No idea why...
Any experience to share?

Cheers,

Pierre.

well the analog output has been reported as being of inferior quality by a
lot of folks in general as well as some on the PDlist. most recommended the
HDMI audio out (you'd need a splitter cable) or possibly an external USB
interface, but given the USB power issues lately reported by Pi owners i
imagine that might cause further issues.

hey pierre,

what r u using for line-in? i have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0069L9PZA/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i01

but have not had the chance to try it.
im curious what might be the best usb in/out for cheap.

i also got this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005CLMJLU/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
so i can ssh in on my local network (headless). although i have not
tried it w/out the powered usb hub.

just my own status update.

Re: [PD] Pd on a headless Raspberry Pi

Hi again,

just a quick update : I tried running aplay at start-up (the same way I was
running Pd), with the same type of audio data (a simple 44,1KHz wav file
recorded from the Pd patch i'm testing the Pi with). It sounds much better
than Pd on the analog output.
So it should be an issue with Pd itself. Perhaps it start to quickly. I
dont know...

Cheers,

Pierre.

just a short note:  did you use a sine-sweep file for your test with aplay? Or 
something similar smooth and simple?
I reckon the built-in PWM-output can handle complex sounds better than simple 
ones. 
I'm having some sort of deja-vu -  didn't we discuss that some weeks ago?  ;-)

BTW,  nicorette?? :-)
