I'm using a Pisound and I'm trying to switch both a graph (patch) and a preset using MIDI, but I'm having trouble getting both to work together.

The issue is: when I send both MIDI messages (for graph and preset) at the same time, the preset switch doesn't work properly. It seems like the preset change is being ignored or doesn't apply correctly—maybe because the graph is still loading.

This is important because I'm building a 

, and I want to be able to switch between different effects and their corresponding presets using a 

. For switching between different effects, using graphs works best for me.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there a way to make sure both actions work reliably when using different MIDI channels?

I manage to connect my RPi5 to bluetooth speaker and play test sounds from the terminal. 

I manage to get my patch to play sounds through USB-soundcard. 

But I can't manage to get the sound from RNBO to the bluetooth speaker. 

Chat GPT has led me into jack-loops, sink and PulseAudio adventures that always ends up in the same place. I can't load modules or redirect the output from RNBO even though I see them in the Jack output list.

When I installed the Debian OS for Raspberry Pi 5 and RNBO, I can't use the pip install. The guides on cycling74 RNBO for RPi and GPIO needs python-OSC libraries for example, and I can't install it with those instructions, which makes the guides hard to follow. I have no idea how to install it in virtual environment and handle it together with RNBO?

Experimenting with the accelerometer, wanting to map x, y, and z to param changes. 

I'd like to map the three parameters to the accelerometer axes, but I'm a JS novice. I have the following accelerometer code in the setup() function

 if ('Accelerometer' in window) {
        const accelerometer = new Accelerometer({ frequency: 60 });
      
        accelerometer.addEventListener('reading', () => {
          ax = accelerometer.x;
          ay = accelerometer.y;
          az = accelerometer.z;        
        });
      
        accelerometer.addEventListener('error', (event) => {
          console.error('Accelerometer error:', event);
        });
      
        accelerometer.start();
      } else {
        console.error('Accelerometer API is not supported in this browser.');
      }

Now, I'm not sure how to bind this to the three parameters currently controlled by the (boilerplate) slider code.

I have the following problem changing the presets of a patch on my Pisound:

So, program change orders over MIDI channel 3 switch between different graph settings, and everything is fine.

Program change orders over channel 5 switch through the patches on the Pisound, which works.

However, program change orders over channel 4 don’t change the preset in the patcher. I can switch presets manually in the PiWeb, but not via MIDI program change.

Im using Splat~ with @overdubmode accum. If i record at standard speed it all works well, but if i record at lower speed so the interpolation kicks in, then the overdubbed sound gets louder. The slower it records, the louder and glitchier it gets. 

Also, Im using the trick from the iPoke documentation of connecting a signal from the patcher playing back the sound to the poker, to force it to play before recording. Seems a bit dodgy though so would love to know if there's a better solution.

splat-overdub-gets-louder-when-interpolating

I think this may be expected behaviour?  If you slow the write speed down, then you are effectively pouring more samples into an equivalent space of the buffer.  Imagine you are icing a cake: the slower you move the icing tip, the thicker the icing will be, because more of it accumulates on top of each other. 

If it helps: The splat~ op in gen basically just spreads the input sample value between the two nearest sample slots in a buffer, with a linear mix between them, and the overdubmode=accum means that it adds to the existing data in the buffer.  

If you wanted to counteract this and balance the amount regardless of the speed, you'd need to attenuate the signal before it goes into splat~, with some factor that inversely proportional on the write speed.  

Thats what i thought was going on behind the scenes too, but it doesn't seem like the most intuitive behaviour or something I'd do on purpose, more like an oversight. 

I implemented this in the example, and it does indeed seem to work as expected when overdubbing. If this is the intended functionality, why is it only happening when overdubbing, and not when replacing? If overdub is zero, it's recording at normal volume, so to get the "expected" behaviour i need to interpolate between 1 and the speed-compensated gain. (second example).

Another confusing behaviour is that if record with overdub 0.  (replacing) at low speed, then jump to a higher speed, the old audio stays. Again the behind the scenes explanation makes sense, it's just skipping samples, but since it's supposed to be "interpolated overdubbing", this is not what i would expect. 

Splat~ Overdub gets louder when interpolating.

I am interested in trying to make a spectral freeze in RNBO to use with a Raspberry Pi w/ Pisound. I would like to be able to record a short buffer of the spectral information and be able to scan through it manually.

I have to be honest, I am not so fluent in FFT patching so apologies in advance for any glaring mistakes.
