Tested on usb audio device. Use ./bin/build_pi.sh for a full screen use. Other build types with default startups.

• ./bin/build_pi_effects.sh // Effects rack

Jack

Starting the app will start jack. I recommnend starting it elsewhere, ./bin/jack_startup.sh is a sample startup. Midi will need to be enabled.

Features

Midi Instrument From a Plugin

Effects Rack

Control individual inputs and outputs allowing to setup a vocoder or anysidechained plugin inside your rack.

Control Effect Values From External Midi

Set a midi control port as an input and set multiple values to be controlled within the app. This gif example uses the OrzaPad as the input

• Save your effect rack and instrument setup as a preset to load again.
• Within this screen you can also see some setup for output and input.

Tools for Musical Device

• Run in startup at full screen
