 some points short:
 
 system:
 + BBB moved to Debian since this year (good)
 + USB Audio works fine und better now with kernel = 3.12
 + Network performance works better with kernel = 3.12
 - IO support doenst use device-tree overlays anymore on kernel  3.8
 + an iio-backend for Jack2 to use the internal AD's 
   in jack for processing sensor data in PD ;-)))  but tricky

does this mean, we get a “sound” i.e adc~ in from the internal ad’s? 
 
 sound:
 
 + down to 10ms with PD and cheap 8 channel out, 2 in 
   USB soundcard Logilink 7.1(EUR 19.90) 
 +  5ms with Logilink stereo USB (EUR 3,90) 
 + success with audio-cape (stereo, but too expensive for the quality)
 - sound quality is normally as bad as on most notebooks, tablets and so on 
 + but with a trick: filtered 5V supply for the USB-card not the USB power
   it seems to get reasonable quality 
   (They have all the same chips like expensive USB cards: C-Media)
 
 I just made a blog on this, but it is not public only for intern usage, if 
 anyone is interested in the IEM-embedded-Sound-Kit (doing some audio over 
 ethernet stuff) i can make it open (after some polishing, especially the 
 english) and release the PD-lib (GPIO,AD,I2C,... interfacing) for these 
 devices.
 
 This dev's should also work for Cubie-boards, Wand-boards, UDOO and other arm 
 based boards.

 While I'm sure that Dan is right that the UDOO is the better choice for
 USB audio, I do have to say that I've had decent success using my
 Raspberry
 Pi as a guitar effects processor, with the Behringer UCG102 interface.
 
 There's definitely a lot of quirkiness to getting it running... for
 example ALSA gets in an infinite restart loop when attempting low latency
 on pd-extended, but vanilla starts up fine under the same settings. And
 then there's the fact that an issue in the kernel screws up USB audio on
 major distros like Raspbian.
 
 I'm using the Satellite CCRMA distro right now with much better success.
 So far I've got various delays, a looper, and a waveshaper distortion
 running within the same patch, at 20ms latency with very few noticeable
 dropouts. Parameters are adjustable with a QuNeo MIDI controller and with
 a
 button attached to the GPIO pins.
 
 The Pi is a bit more affordable than the UDOO boards, but then again I had
 to buy a powered USB hub. Ultimately for one audio input the Raspberry Pi
 could probably serve most purposes, while the UDOO is more likely to scale
 to bigger installations.

You mean hooking up the sound card to a different powers supply? I guess
the ones you are using are not USB powered?

a couple of projects last year used usb, but trying several different dongles

HDMI only (plus ethernet for setting up only), so I'm not so worried ... they 
are not here at the moment so can't check, but notes suggest 3.13 probably, I've 
not updated since last year. I'll upgrade tolatest raspbian when they are back.

 Ok for small projects, but you're not going to interface a real stage mic
 or guitar easily. Would be much better if the next pi version comes with an
 onboard usb controller, which is the main problem for usb audio on the
 current pi. For now, the UDOO is where it's at for that.

Re: [PD] [OT] Raspberry Pi Wolfson Audio Card

2014-03-13 Thread Dan Wilcox
I don't know the latency. I can try testing that at let you know, but it's
definitely good enough for what I need. It is at least lower than 20ms.
Acceptable latency for guitar is 12ms, and I think I got around 16ms out of
my old setup running on the Pentium III 500Mhz wearable.

The main deal with the UDOO, is that it's multiple cores (2 or 4 depending
on the board you buy). This way, the kernel has a core, pd has a core, and
there are 2 cores left over for other things (my HID-OSC device daemon,
etc).

 Hey Dan,

 Looks like the UDOO is much better indeed from what you recently posted
 here. Could you tell us what latency you're achieving ? And which version
 you're using (with or w/o wifi) ?

 Cheers,

Re: [PD] [OT] Raspberry Pi Wolfson Audio Card

2014-03-13 Thread Brian Fay
While I'm sure that Dan is right that the UDOO is the better choice for USB
audio, I do have to say that I've had decent success using my Raspberry Pi
as a guitar effects processor, with the Behringer UCG102 interface.

There's definitely a lot of quirkiness to getting it running... for example
ALSA gets in an infinite restart loop when attempting low latency on
pd-extended, but vanilla starts up fine under the same settings. And then
there's the fact that an issue in the kernel screws up USB audio on major
distros like Raspbian.

I'm using the Satellite CCRMA distro right now with much better success. So
far I've got various delays, a looper, and a waveshaper distortion running
within the same patch, at 20ms latency with very few noticeable dropouts.
Parameters are adjustable with a QuNeo MIDI controller and with a button
attached to the GPIO pins.

The Pi is a bit more affordable than the UDOO boards, but then again I had
to buy a powered USB hub. Ultimately for one audio input the Raspberry Pi
could probably serve most purposes, while the UDOO is more likely to scale
to bigger installations.

Why don't you just use millers images with vanilla or the satellite-ccrma with

Both images are very close to 8GB (though much of that is empty space) ... the

The raspbian wheezy image will fit on a much smaller card, and will expand its

cards are quite the full 8GB.

If you try the standard debian armel it will probably work, but is compiled for 
a simpler CPU without hardware float (ARMv4 rather than v6), and will be slower.

In raspian there's some way to select whether audio goes out the line out

 Hey Patrick,

 I guess the standard most up to date raspbian wheezy is the best place to 
 start.

 For me what's worked best is to find a super-minimal install and then build 
 requirements on top of that.

 With the project I'm working on atm I couldn't get my pmpd patch to even run 
 with the standard install (there is quite a lot going on though).  Now the 
 patch runs fine with a whole heap of other stuff on top of that (2 sensors, 6 
 channel soundcard etc).  My htop reading fills me with joy-I think there's 
 about a dozen processes including 3 shells.

 As it's a rev1 board I built a system on top of the hexxeh image (same guy 
 who's done the 'rpi-update' program for updating the firmware.  My 
 understanding though is that with rev2 boards don't do it.

 The one that I've been keeping my eye on, and they've just released a brand 
 new version is Mobius
 http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/
 This is what I'll be testing out for my rev2 boards.

 There's a whole host of conflicting info re RPi's out there, particularly 
 overclocking to squeeze every last morsel of goodness out of them.  Us audio 
 bods have specific needs -  like I want mine running flat out all the time 
 without blowing up and there's a big difference with that to someone who very 
 occasionally pushes their RPi and wants to tell everyone that there way is 
 the best.

 My own take has been to only use smaller cards (4gb) from reputable sources - 
 very hit and miss though, very definitely YMMV

 This has been useful for tweaks:
 http://blog.extremeshok.com/archives/1081

 Indispensable resources for audio:
 http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=286064#p286064
 http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/raspberrypi

 Don't do video so can't help on that front but my friend was just showing me 
 his rpi xbmc setup which was really good so must be well-doable.

 And of course there's a ton of stuff on our lovely list.

 Best of luck,

 Julian

 On the RaspberryPi website the question about the absence of audio-input

 There are no inbuilt Audio ADC’s so there would be a cost adder – everyone

 So, still a possibility in an embedded openstomp-ish device.

 Combining that with a stompbox that holds, for instance, an msp430

 very nice interface :)

 Still looking in to compiling for their OS.
 The pandora is then again a very small niche, hence I was reflecting

 However I didn't realize this device doesn't have line-in, so that

  Perhaps this is a possibility, without too much modification of libPD or
  even RJDJ.

  Er..well I can see they run Linux, so I think I was mistaken. My head
 was in
  the world of BASIC - nostalgia gets in the way of the facts!
  Of course, Pd would need to be compiled for the hardware.
 
  I think we need to wait until one of us gets one and tries it out
 before we
  find out what they're capable of. I've expressed interest, but they're
  massively oversubscribed.
 
 
 
  I bought mine yesterday, and should receive it in about a week. The

  On the other hand, the idea of a dedicated PDOS isn't a bad idea...

  Even if it was just the PD core, it would enhance the educational scope
