In my experience HDMI < USB audio interface < gpio soundcard. I used the HDMI but it wasn't great quality and it seemed to have a weird gate when you initialise it. meaning the first note I played was always silent. I had a Behringer U222 usb audio input, perfectly fine with my PC, but as I've already mentioned the usb host for the rpi can have some odd mercurial issues on the Pi 3, Mine used to cause hanging notes when I used a particular synth engine and which you can get around as long as you don't want anything that uses usb2. I now use a HiFiBerry DAC+, lower latency than the usb, 192kHz/24bit vs 48KHz/16bit for the usb. The HiFiBerry DAC+ ADC has stereo line in too. Other (cheaper) gpio soundcards are available. Obviously the downside is it doesn't do MIDI. But you could use a cheap usb to midi adaptor. Or there are serial to midi schematics available, such as the one for the Zynthian. But I suppose at that point you're probably better actually getting a Zynthian.

You're also going to need a soundcard for the rpi. The built in audio is noisy and has an intrusive gate. Usb soundcards have issues with contention with other usb devices, which can be fixed by limiting the bus to only use usb1 speeds. I used a usb one for a bit with a usb midi keyboard and some engines like dexed had wierd stuck notes and the like. At least for the rpi 3.TBH Whatever you do with the raspberry pi for audio, and I hope ypu do! it's going to end up looking like the zynthian in some form.

I got really excited when I saw that until I saw that it's $700. Well, MOD DUO is a very nice well put together piece of kit. To build a stage ready kit with an Intel Nuc with the VST's you want you're probably going to be in the same ballpark. You can do similar things with the Zynthian, the new v3 has a mono audio in, and uses the same lv2 effects, and you also get the same web interface that the MOD DUO uses as it's open source. However it's not quite the same experience. The Rpi 3B+ is a capable board, but even then I get xruns with complicated patches using OB-Xd or Helm.

Also here's a pianoteq demo on the zynthian that I found.

Dan, Have a look at the MOD DUO https://www.moddevices.com/products/mod-duo

Well, it will, because it's actually a sampled DX7, not synthesising in the classic sense. Allegedly it's a DX7 used by Bowie.

I want to be as cool as this guy when I grow up.

Way OT: Listening to YouTube on Smartphone (While Minimized)

I use NewPipe It's not on Play store though. https://newpipe.schabi.org/ -
Which is apparently the same line of thought the DSI employee followed when he continued to defame Behringer even though they had previously agreed to signed a cease and desist order. https://www.magneticmag.com/2018/06/behringer-responds-to-lawsuits-attempting-to-silence-critics-defends-reverse-engineered-synths/

OMG. Drum n' Bass! I can't breathe!

Oh boy. Check out all those rhythms with the vox kit. Esp. House Pop, Electronica & Roots Regge. I need to lie down. I nearly wee'd myself.

This weekend Im going to create 6 differently detuned supersaw patches and layer them all up

A quick internet search for "Roland Hexachorus" brought up the Roland RD-800 stage piano and this rather comprehensive FX parameter guide http://cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/RD-800_Parameter_Guide_e01_W.pdf Although it's likely to be a red herring it would fit the apparent magpie construction method of the VR-09.
-
Astounding work! Does this mean we might be able to change things like delay feedback and wetness amounts or hexachorus params?
-
Ctrlr doesnt exist on the iPad but there are other apps that do the same thing like midi designer pro 2. Someone would have to port the VR-09 over though and that app isnt free.

Instead of a MIDI file, if you have the latest 1.12 firmware, you could load a short waltz wav into the looper from a USB stick. It won't synchronise with the tempo, but that's what the tap tempo button is for. I've grabbed a few things from these sites in the past: https://www.guitarbackingtrack.com/ https://www.looperman.com/ https://freesound.org/

Incredible work with the editor. Anyone thinking about getting one of the other gig boards needs to consider this too. Im hoping there will be some sysex for hidden additional effects parameters!
-
Installn takes a couple of minutes, seems to fix the perc and pedal registering just fine.
-
Anyone tried the 1.12 firmware with the damper and expression pedal registration fix? I saw it a few hours before I had to fly away from my vr-09
