Package Mod DUO pedalboard software for openSUSE
a project by dmacvicar
Updated almost 3 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

the MOD Duo is a guitar/instrument pedalboard made by the company Mod Devices, which has the following features:

MOD Duo

  • Open-source firmware based on Linux, Jack, LV2 standard.
  • Web client served by the pedalboard itself via WIFI or Bluetooth
  • Two independent inputs and outputs. Supports any signal chain in between.
  • Ability to create or build your own effects.

This project is about building the software components on openSUSE, with the following goals:

  • Learn how it works
  • Contribute to it
  • Evaluate it before buying the hardware
  • Experiment: eg. make a simpler pedalboard with a RaspberryPi and a DAC.

Status

  • mod-host and mod-ui built here.

mod-ui running on openSUSE:

How to run it

sudo zypper ar obs://home:dmacvicar:mod/openSUSE_Tumbleweed modduo

# install qjackctl and friends
sudo zypper in a2jmidid qjackctl jack

# install mod duo software
sudo sudo zypper in mod-host mod-ui

# install some effects
sudo sudo zypper in lv2-calf lv2-guitarix

Now, configure QJacjCtl to start mod-host at startup of jack:

Go to Setup -> Options

[X] Execute Script after Startup: [ a2jmidid -e & mod-host ]
...
[X] Execute Script on Shutdown: [ killall a2jmidid mod-host ]

Edit the mod-ui port:

sudo vi /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/mod/settings.py

Change the port to a non-root port:

DEVICE_WEBSERVER_PORT = int(os.environ.get('MOD_DEVICE_WEBSERVER_PORT', 8082))

Start jack with QJackCtl Now start mod-ui:

mod-ui

Go to http://localhost:$port in your browser.

    Software for musicians / guitarists and their integration in Aeon by fcrozat

    Description

    As a beginner in playing guitar, I'm discovering the wonderful world of music software on Linux.

    I'd like to spend time on listing which software is available for which purpose and see if they are working well in Aeon (either as Flatpak or RPM).

    I also want to dig deeper into Pipewire pro-audio handling.

    Goals

    List (or find a list) equivalent to "awesome list" Learn about pipewire pro-audio handling. Improve Aeon / Tumbleweed if needed

    Framework laptop integration by nkrapp

    Project Description

    Although openSUSE does run on the Framework laptops out-of-the-box, there is still room to improve the experience. The ultimate goal is to get openSUSE on the list of community supported distros

    Goal for this Hackweek

    The goal this year is to at least package all of the soft- and firmware for accessories like the embedded controller, Framework 16 inputmodule and other tools. I already made some progress by packaging the inputmodule control software, but the firmware is still missing

    Resources

    As I only have a Framework laptop 16 and not a 13 I'm looking for people with hardware that can help me test

    Progress:

    Update 1:

    The project lives under my home for now until I can get an independent project on OBS: Framework Laptop project

    Also, the first package is already done, it's the cli for the led-matrix spacer module on the Framework Laptop 16. I am also testing this myself, but any feedback or questions are welcome.

    You can test the package on the Framework 16 by adding this repo and installing the package inputmodule-control

    Update 2:

    I finished packaging the python cli/gui for the inputmodule. It is using a bit of a hack because one of the dependencies (PySimpleGUI) recently switched to a noncommercial license so I cannot ship it. But now you can actually play the games on the led-matrix (the rust package doesn't include controls for the games). I'm also working on the Framework system tools now, which should be more interesting for Framework 13 users.

    You can test the package on the Framework 16 by installing python311-framework16_inputmodule and then running "ledmatrixctl" from the command line.

    Update 3:

    I packaged the framework_tool, a general application for interacting with the system. You can find it some detailed information what it can do here. On my system everything related to the embedded controller functionality doesn't work though, so some help testing and debugging would be appreciated.

    Update 4:

    Today I finished the qmk interface, which gives you a cli (and gui) to configure your Framework 16 keyboard. Sadly the Python gui is broken upstream, but I added the qmk_hid package with the cli and from my testing it works well.

    Final Update:

    All the interesting programs are now done, I decided to exclude the firmware for now since upstream also recommends using fwupd to update it. I will hack on more things related to the Framework Laptops in the future so if there are any ideas to improve the experience (or any bugs to report) feel free to message me about it.

    As a final summary/help for everyone using a Framework Laptop who wants to use this software:

    The source code for all packages can be found in repositories in the Framework organization on Github

    All software can be installed from this repo (Tumbleweed)

    The available packages are:

    • framework-inputmodule-control (FW16) - play with the inputmodules on your Framework 16 (b1-display, led-matrix, c1-minimal)

    • python-framework16_inputmodule (FW16) - same as inputmodule-control but is needed if you want to play and crontrol the built-in games in the led-matrix (call with ledmatrixctl or ledmatrixgui)

    • framework_tool (FW13 and FW 16) - use to see and configure general things on your framework system. Commands using the embedded controller might not work, it looks like there are some problems with the kernel module used by the EC. Fixing this is out of scope for this hackweek but I am working on it

    • qmk_hid (FW16) - a cli to configure the FW16 qmk keyboard. Sadly the gui for this is broken upstream so only the cli is usable for now

    Update Haskell ecosystem in Tumbleweed to GHC-9.10.x by psimons

    Description

    We are currently at GHC-9.8.x, which a bit old. So I'd like to take a shot at the latest version of the compiler, GHC-9.10.x. This is gonna be interesting because the new version requires major updates to all kinds of libraries and base packages, which typically means patching lots of packages to make them build again.

    Goals

    Have working builds of GHC-9.10.x and the required Haskell packages in 'devel:languages:haskell` so that we can compile:

    • git-annex
    • pandoc
    • xmonad
    • cabal-install
