Re: [PD] Working RPI Soundcards (was raspberry pi user experience)

Hey all,

No joy with ESI GIGAPort HD :(
Not seen by the Pi at all with and without USB slowdown.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know?

Bought one of these for a project foolishly thinking it would be the same
as the AG version.

Stuck it on the wiki-list too.

Pah,

Julian

 by the way, since I've been abusing so much of the GUI to build me
 fancy interfaces, I can see how easily it can choke on its update and

 Now, could an external video card help on that? What is the issue? 

Since the GUI process (called pd-gui) is computed on the CPU, a
dedicated video card wouldn't help. 

 I'm using a macbook air and I see that the video processor is built-in
 the CPU or something like that, hence no proper videocard. I figure
 the RPI has gotta be something like that.
 
 
 So, does it mean a macbook pro or other laptop / computer with some
 badass video processor or card can run the patches better even with
 same clock?

No, as nothing of current Pd can be hardware accelerated. A fast GPU
would only provide a benefit for Gem. However, pd and pd-gui are two
separate processes and they run on separate cores, if there is more than
one. Most laptops (netbooks not included) have at least two cores
already. This means on many laptops, pd-gui does not eat away CPU power
from the pd process.

Beware that there is also another bottleneck: the communication between
pd and pd-gui. A possible cause for audio-dropouts is the saturation of
the TCP link between the two as it might be triggered by frequent array
updates or similar. If you experience troubles, try to make pd and
pd-gui talk less to each other (for instance, by reducing the update
rates for your GUIs).

Therefore, you can improve the performance of GEM on a RPI with an external
video card, cool.


??? I don't think you could add an external card in any way that could provide
openGL. The built in GPU and its drivers don't provide openGL either, so no GEM
at all on the RPI (unless GEM is ported to ES, or some GL to ES bridge is 
written). The GPU parts of the hardware are closed source, so no hacking the 
driver or such possible either. Same applies to Beagleboards and other similar 
devices as well, they all use ES rather than GL.




Sticking to the Pi issue, since it is so economic in CPU power, what are
the efficiency benefits from audio cards more than just number of inputs
and outputs?


They are needed on the Pi ... there is no analogue input and the built-in 
analogue out is very poor, hence you need some external USB card to do more

than use the stereo digital audio part of the HDMI output.

Sure, but besides that, I'm just wondering and asking how it improves (or
if it does at all) the CPU performance. Or latency issues. I mean, sound
cards are more than just getting sound in and out of the computer, right?
And for that matter, I'm also interested on how it works in other
computers, not only in the RPI

That makes me wonder now hoe the [pd~] separates the processes between 2
cores then. I really thought PD was a single core processor that you could
only split with [pd~].


[pd~] is for splitting the DSP part into separate threads in a closely synced 
way ... if you have clearly independent parts of your patch and you want to run 
it on several cores often it makes more sense to run a few instances of pd, 
passing information between them using the local network ports. Eg if you have 
GEM and audio parts this is often the way to go. Pd-gui essentially runs the 
interface, though I understand the separation between the two isn't as clean as 
it could be. Audio and message processing is done in pd.

 that just having a list on the front page will rapidly get hard to read.

me? guide? to what?

Anyway, regarding RPI, are these cheap soundcards being tested supposed to
help in the CPU load?

I've testing some stuff with my audio card here on the macbook air, and
it's a RME Multiface II (via PCI-Express Card) and it doesn't seem to
affect so much the CPU load (as measured by pd's meter). I can see a better
improvement on latency though.

So, regarding the RPI, is the concern only about the latency? And how much
can a sound card help after all in any occasion/computer/systrem.

Re: [PD] Working RPI Soundcards (was raspberry pi user experience)

2013-01-31 Thread Alexandre Torres Porres
by the way, since I've been abusing so much of the GUI to build me fancy
interfaces, I can see how easily it can choke on its update and flood the
CPU.

Now, could an external video card help on that? What is the issue?

I'm using a macbook air and I see that the video processor is built-in the
CPU or something like that, hence no proper videocard. I figure the RPI has
gotta be something like that.

So, does it mean a macbook pro or other laptop / computer with some badass
video processor or card can run the patches better even with same clock?

thanks

 me? guide? to what?

 Anyway, regarding RPI, are these cheap soundcards being tested supposed to
 help in the CPU load?

 I've testing some stuff with my audio card here on the macbook air, and
 it's a RME Multiface II (via PCI-Express Card) and it doesn't seem to
 affect so much the CPU load (as measured by pd's meter). I can see a better
 improvement on latency though.

 So, regarding the RPI, is the concern only about the latency? And how much
 can a sound card help after all in any occasion/computer/systrem.

 cheers

  trying any of the cards from DealExtreme?

 no no all.  just the ones on amazon. i submit my receipts to the uni
 so they pay me back. the students can use what ever i get that doesnt
 work.

 BTW. if you write a basic intro guide that a 1st or 2nd year student
 can follow (in english :)) ill use it in my class

 Are you
  trying any of the cards from DealExtreme?

  i just tried a cheap-o mic but im assuming line-in would be the same
  no? i mean it was a passive mic so what the difference would be
  between that and a direct guitar line, for example, i do not know.
 
  again, i ordered like 7 or 8 of these cheap-o line ins. ill test them
  as they get delivered and report back.
 
  yes! i know of this
  http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#USB_Sound_Cards but not all
  of these test well with pd i am assuming by all the recent sound card
  crackling probs. also there are more that have not been tested or/and
  have been but not listed here im sure

 Hallo,

 does someone has experiences with M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R or RME 
 multiface or other devices with 8 or more channels?
 Can the PI handle so much channels?
 The HDSP/Multiface solutions require a pci pcie pcmcia or express card
 slot.

2013-01-30 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner

Here's an idea: maybe each person maintains a my setup page with all the
relevant details.  Then from that, more concise list can be built.  I think
that just having a list on the front page will rapidly get hard to read.

To add your own Wiki Page, just name it in brackets, like [my sweet custom RPi
setup], then save the page.  Then click on that link, and it should give you a
new page.
