Hi , Glen . Thank you for providing easy diy project using this pimoroni card. Midichannel recieve is restricted in 1- 16 in modern version. How can I use a 6 string midi guitar which has each string in different channels ie, midi input is coming to 1-6 channels. where to adjust the configuration to recieve these channels?

Hi. I'm going to try my hand at Samplebox. First venture into pi.

I would like to just it to trigger long samples, eg a 5min vocal, with one note.

Eg hit a pad and have the whole sample play as a one-shot.

Is this possible. My controller doesn't have latch.

Is the default for samplebox for it to only play while a pad / key is pressed.

Given I'm new to this, if anyone reasons could you please treat me like a baby in your reply! Not familiar with pi, python etc.

Thanks so much

I can not get SamplerBox to run on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ similar to Parker and Pablo previously commenting

I can get it to run on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 4GB RAM.

I am here to echo the previous comment from Pablo. My raspberry pi too just boots to a white screen, nothing in the pirate audio display and no audio. I followed all of the instructions on your page, mounted the OS with the raspberry pi imager, copied the 3 relevant files and I am using an official power supply. Any ideas as to what the issue could be?

Hello, i have been trying to make this samplerbox work, i have a raspberry pi3 model b+, and a pirate audio lineout. I downloaded the samplerbox .img, and booted it into a microusb, plugged it into the raspberry, but the pirate auido does not show what it has to show, it just turn on but with nothing displayed. I have plugged my midi keyboard with the speakers plugged in into the pirate audio and no sound.
Do I need to install some other libraries to make it work?
Like some pirate audio libraries or some python. Thanks a lot, this is my first project in raspberry and i dont know much about this. Thank you.

Hi Glenn,
Indeed the homspace site isn't reliable for some time. I intend to change provider (the root cause), but that will take some time. I'm glad your site provides a bypass.

Hello Glenn,

Thank you so much for your work. I have a question : Is it possible to trigger 2 .wav's with 1 key of the midi keyboard?

I tried to name one .wav with midinote and the other .wav with notename but it doesn't work....

Admin reply: Yes, you use layers. There is a setting in the definition file: %layers
You need to define the voices in the file layers.csv
Voice 6 in the 0 Demo preset has layers

is homespace.nl down? I've been trying it for the last two days and it's not opening.
:!cry:

Admin reply: Yes, Hans' website seems to be down. I used the Wayback Machine to fetch an archived copy of it and I put that info here under the Documentation menu item
