Re: Raspberry Pi 3 SoftSynth Box [Buildlog]

As said, having all synths running all the time on different ports and having to find out and make sure the ports are the same every start seems a bit more comlicated to me than starting the synth needed. I don't use any gui and want to have it as automated and idiot proof as possible. Every synth …

Re: Emulating MT-32 on an RPi2

Posted on 2018-02-17, 16:58

Quick question to everyone: is there a way to program, for example, a 16x2 LCD kit for the Raspberry Pi to make it look like the Roland MT-32, such as, showing the instruments, channels, and titles/Easter eggs (SQ III INSERT BUCKAZOID) when starting a specific game? That'll be awesome, wouldn't it? …

Here are the scripts to shudown and restart the synths. I think they are pretty selfexplanatory. TTYmidi is still in there but won't do anything as it is not started. fluidsynth: #/bin/bash if pgrep ttymidi ; then sudo killall ttymidi sleep 1 fi if pgrep -f midilight.py ; then sudo kill $(pgrep -f …

Here are the two python scripts that i use in parallel to drive the logic and the leds. Unfortunately I don't have access to the bashscripts, that start/restart the synths, but I will post them when I have access to the pi again. I commented them as good as I can, but if there still are any …

Great work. That really looks awesome, and I love the wooden case. I tried to get something similar working myself based on a previously posted rpi2 project, but kept getting annoyed at the midi ports changing randomly at each bootup for some reason. I must admit that I just don't know linux well …

Yes. I also display them in the lower line of the lcd as you can see in the photo with spacequest 3 running. I did not lower any polyphony settings or alter anything else in fluidsynth and I run on raw alsa hardware device as that is what fluidsynth suggests for best performance. Also this is a …

There are some things that I changed: I don't use an usb soundcard anymore. The cheap stuff you see in the first videos gave me buffer problems and distorted sound. All that is fixed by using the onboard sound. I decided that the relatively noisy and compressed sounding onboard sound of the …

Now I finished the box and put everything inside. Redesigned the front a bit to accomodate a fourth button for reset and shutdown of the raspberry. The "fixed" chinese midiinterface seems to do its job. For correct operation I have to restart munt before playing a new game though. But even sysex …

New Video. https://youtu.be/gAG-GwYeTpc Now with experimental frontpanel and a connection from my P75's SB32 via mpu-401. I installed a 20x2 lcd now instead of the 16x2. I want to display sysex messages from the munt emulator in the lower row later on and the mt32 had a 20x1 display, too. The LEDs …

Turns out the board was fine and I was just too stupid and didn't turn off the serial console on ttyAMA0. The different baudrates of Midi and terminal interfered but didn't completely stop it from working intermittendly. One more thing learned. Today I want to program a visualizer for the channels, …
