Fantastic, i’m really not at the point of modifying kernels, but i’ll check again later! thanks a lot.
I just picked up a Raspberry Pi 4 so this thread is pertinent to my interests. Got it and a little MIDI board with 5 pin DIN in and out to try and get around Roland’s complete disinterest in providing a working Windows 10 driver for the Boss GP-10 pedal that I use as an input from my MIDI guitar. Plan was to try and inspect the data coming from the USB and grab anything that looks like MIDI data and forward it on to the MIDI out DIN port.
Even if I get it working that alone is a bit of a waste of the Pi’s capabilities so I’m also investigating other options such as using it as a hardware MIDI sequencer, but would be really cool to have VCV running used as a “Multi-Effect in a box” for processing audio (which I presume would require me buying a particular ‘hat’ for it) via VCV e.g. just having the Plateau and Chronoblob effects in a box would surpass any pedals I currently have for doing DAW-less jamming.
All sorts of cool accessories available, just wish I had a 3D printer/CNC laser cutter to go with it. I guess those sorts of things can be hired for one off prototype jobs though. Hmmm. Could be fun.
Edit: Damn, just saw the note that the 8GB version - the one I bought - isn’t currently supported by this sonaremin build. Is there any way round that e.g. can I use config to ‘pretend’ it’s a 4GB device?
sorry for the delay - i was a bit offline … there is a newer version available which should support the 8gb model now as well at Release based on vcvrack v1.1.6 (nineth edition) · hexdump0815/sonaremin-ng · GitHub - sadly this version has a problem with the audio output jack … i already have built a newer linux kernel, but still have to test if that maybe will fix that problem - so stay tuned …

great news, thanks for the update
@pgatt - i’m using those cheap little pc2704 usb audio interfaces for audio out: sonaremin/pcm2704-01.jpg at master · hexdump0815/sonaremin · GitHub … i also experimented to use audio in/out (and i think even cv worked somehow) over wired ethernet and jack

Have you got a version working with Raspberry pi 4 4gB and VCV 2 yet? About to pull the pin on the rpi but might wait till VCV2 is available on it. Still tossing up whether to get the 4 or 8gB version.
i’m still waiting for v2 to be fully released before i start looking at getting it running on linux/arm - i do not want to do this on a too much moving target right now … regarding the rpi4: i can only recommend you to get the 4gb version as with the 8gb version there are still problems with the sonaremin and 8gb on an rpi are a bit overkill anyway i think

@hexdump thanks. I think that was the way I was leaning. And yeah definitely understand not wanting to build something like this on a moving target. Won’t be too long before the ABI is declared stable any way.
