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.

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.

    GTK/Libadwaita music player for Subsonic servers by epaolantonio

    Description

    I did switch recently to Navidrome to stream my music library. However, there is no desktop client that I like. I would like to use this Hack Week to build one myself.

    Navidrome uses the Subsonic API, which is also implemented by other music servers.

    This project aims to create a music player compatible with any Subsonic-like server.

    Goals

    • Basic navigation
    • Offline support
    • Lyrics support
    • Never-ending playlist support (automatically queue similar songs when a playlist ends)
    • Responsive UI using libadwaita widgtes

    openSUSE on ZoL from OpenZFS project by jkohoutek

    Idea is to have SUSE system with OpenZFS as root FS.

    Why ZFS

    Ways in which ZFS is better than BTRFS

    Main goal

    Have OpenZFS as install option in the installer and utilize zedenv Boot Environment Manager for SUSE updates install

    Goals

    • synergy of ZFS with dracut, so snapshots are correctly added to the grub
    • synergy of zedenv with zypper
      • before every update snapshot is created
      • when new kernel or other package which requires reboot is about to be installed, the update will be processed to the new boot environment snapshot and grub configuration changed to boot to this new one
    • integrate Root on ZFS as install option to the YaST
    • configure Kiwi for the ZFS install images

    Completed goals

    • prepare ZFS pool compatible with openSUSE installation ✓
    • install openSUSE with root on ZFS ✓
    • boot to the prepared and installed system ✓

    Current progress
