Re: [PD] using pd live (sans computer/laptop/raspberry pi)
Hi, Just one thing about the output. I personnaly use an impedance matching transformer between my soundcard's balanced output and my guitar amp, as explained on this page ( http://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/guitar-and-amplifier/). I made a difference in terms of level and perceived signal to noise ratio.

Re: [PD] using pd live (sans computer/laptop/raspberry pi)
Without a computer, no. Without a desktop or laptop computer, yes. An embedded computer (rpi or UDOO, for instance) can totally do this and that's what some of us have used them for. Simplest case is to setup the system, install pd with your patch, and write a script that is launched when the machine boots that connects to the sound card and starts pd. This way it starts immediately when you turn on the power, no interaction required. All of this can be built into a box of some sort, giving you an in/out effects setup. It's what I've done with several systems, although they are not as small as a real pedal. Any regular USB sound card will work. I recommend the Roland Edirol UA-25 o/ UA-25EX as it's a simple USB 1 sound device that will work with anything that speaks USB audio without a driver. You get instrument jack/XLR preamps in and stereo out. You could also get this setup with my Pd iOs app PdPartyhttps://github.com/danomatika/PdParty/blob/master/doc/PdParty_User_Guide.mdof Chris McCormick's PdDroidParty http://droidparty.net/ and a sound interface to your mobile device. For instance, I have an Alesis iODock for my iPad which gives me the equivalent of a UA-25. I've also had success using a UA-25 with a powered USB hub connected to the iPad via the camera connection kit usb adapter. Let me know if you want to beta test PdParty as it's currently not released on the App Store.

Re: [PD] using pd live (sans computer/laptop/raspberry pi)
You get instrument jack/XLR preamps in and stereo out. Hey Dan (or anyone who feels compelled to answer), How does one use, say, the UDOO board similar to a pedal then? Doesn't a standard guitar effects pedal's input-jack accept instrument-level as well as output instrument-level at its output jack? I suppose you could reverse a DI on the output of the UDOO? (As well as a 1/8 to 1/4 adaptor out of that stereo jack.ugh.) Is that what one would do to have the PD-effected audio to go back into one's guitar amp? Thanks. This is gettin deep!

Re: [PD] using pd live (sans computer/laptop/raspberry pi)
Wow. That pdf is beyond awesome, Dan. On many different levels. Question about this part though: An attached direct box converts high-impedance signals to microphone level for connection to a stage mixing and amplification systems (and I guess my previous question still remains unanswered) I want to take line-level (which is low-level impedance, correct?) back to instrument-level so as to use the guitar amp. So how does one get one's guitar out of the UDOO and back into the guitar amp? I'm assuming the only way would be to take the stereo out from the UDOO and plug it into a DI running in reverse and, finally, back into the guitar amp. But it doesn't sound like that's what you're doing specifically. It almost sounds to me like you go into the 'house mains' sans amps on stage. Or am I missing something (wouldn't be the first time).

Thanks :D Question about this part though: An attached direct box converts high-impedance signals to microphone level for connection to a stage mixing and amplification systems The DI box is for being able to plug into the house mains via XLR which, as you probably know, is balanced so you can send it alot further. This is especially useful when I generally ask for 2 50 foot XLRs so I can roam around the crowd. I want to take line-level (which is low-level impedance, correct?) back to instrument-level so as to use the guitar amp. Well, this is why don't want to use the dinky 1/8 inch audio jacks on an onboard sound card and use a USB sound card with built in preamps which handle the impedance issues. Any better sound card will have balanced 1/4 inch jacks out, which is what my UA-25 has (or at least is what the block diagram on the top says). I've run these into regular guitar amps many times. So how does one get one's guitar out of the UDOO and back into the guitar amp? guitar -- soundcard neutrik 1/4+XLR combo jack -- stereo 1/4 balanced jacks out -- 1 channel into guitar amp Obviously you'll want to adjust the levels accordingly. I'd suggest getting a USB soundcard with hardware incoming preamp and outgoing volume controls. This is another reason why I've been using UA-25s.
