Not necessarily. The standard repos usually do a basic compilation to ensure that programs will run on all systems. The raspberry Pi, will be trying to ensure it runs on all versions of the hardware.

Re: Been a while...

I will do some research on a headless RPi2 and report back! :) Got a bunch of xruns on a headless RPi2 using one advanced voice... Well, still, this lead me to try out Yoshimi, and I will surely use it on my main music computer! :) That's disappointing. When compiling I always set 'Build for this c...

Re: RFC on architecture for MIDI piano practice tool for blind/low vision/elderly users.

Interesting project.
You will need to pay a lot of attention to the parser. Decoding typed info is hard enough (I know from experience!) so spoken words will have even more potential variations.

Re: Been a while...

Difficult to say, probably only 2 or 3. I had a pi3 doing 4. Never tried beyond that.

Re: Been a while...

It's pretty much a standard build, but the Pi itself has a fairly minimal devuan OS, and with a very lightweight window manager - openbox. There's a page for it on my website: http://www.musically.me.uk/YoshimiPi/index.html I also showed one briefly at the end of my LAC on-line workshop. Unfortunate...

Re: Been a while...

Yes, this tune is a single patch, but I provide the Yoshimi-Pi with a short demo track that runs entirely from a MIDI file loading patches as it needs them and changing volume and panning. At it's heaviest load it's sounding 7 substantial patches at once. I set it up as all ALSA to get as close to t...

Been a while...

A brand new one from me: First the music. This was an entry in the the occasional Sound On Sound forums One Synth Challenge. It is of course all Yoshimi. Full details... The way I've produced this track is a bit of an embarrassment. It combines two features I implemented over 3 years ago, and a patc...

Just a bit of fun.

How It Really Happened Sue and Joe were musicians that had fallen on hard times. Sue was a singer and Joe a drummer. One day as they were passing an orchard they decided to go scrumping. The idea being that what they didn't eat they might be able to sell. As they worked across, filling their knapsa...

Re: Pipewire called for testers. Anybody tried it out?

OK, this wasn't clear from the presentation. The drawing they showed seemed to suggest it was an additional layer, rather than a replacement. I won't be looking at it myself for some time though. I've got far too much going on with Yoshimi!

Re: Pipewire called for testers. Anybody tried it out?

Watching the session on LAC I'm cautiously optimistic, although I'm concerned that it appears to be yet another lay on top of others.

Hmmm. Think I'll wait... quite a while.
