New pi-Stomp v2.3.0-beta software is ready to try (as a pre-built!)

As we wait for v3 kits to deliver from manufacturing, those of you with a v2 (aka ?Core?) can benefit from all the new software features and upgrades we?ve done in the last few months.


And we?ve built it for you, so just burn the OS image and boot it!


Works with any pi-Stomp v2 (aka ?core) hardware.  v1 hardware still has an issue with the LCD to resolve.


Please try it out and let us know what you think!

pi-Stomp has always intended to be a platform. One of its main advantages over commercial units, is that it runs Linux, and thus can run additional software.

I just committed some minor software changes to allow the hardware to work independently of the recommended MOD software. So now, you can use pi-Stomp hardware with other audio plugin hosts!

You can even MIDI-map the pi-Stomp controls and footswitches to control effect parameters in the host.

I’ve tested two such hosts so far. They both work great.

Rakarack â€" an awesome (Free) guitar oriented virtual pedalboard


Carla â€" a Free, full featured modular audio host. It can run multiple plugin formats including LADSPA, DSSI, LV2, VST2, VST3 and AU, plus SF2 and SFZ sound font files!

We’ll likely eventually add improved support for software like these so that the LCD and rotary encoders can be used to change settings, presets, pedalboards, etc.

Although this Forum Topic is open for discussion of bugs/issues/feature-requests etc., formal reporting and tracking should be done in the github project(s).
