Using pi-Stomp / Re: CPU gets to 100 percent

Last post by Randall (Admin) - December 03, 2025, 03:47:40 PM

Does that happen for any pedalboard you have running?

If no, it could be a badly behaved plugin, or AIDA-X which can be a total CPU hog depending on the model.  Possibly try a different model?  If that doesn't help, please indicate which Harmonizer, or take a screenshot so we can try to reproduce what you're experiencing.

Download the .xz file from here:
https://github.com/treefallsound/pi-stomp/releases/

Use the corresponding "Installation Instructions".

The changes are shown in:
https://github.com/TreeFallSound/pi-stomp/blob/pistomp-v3/CHANGELOG.md

Lots updates and new features and an improved LCD UI.  Patch storage for plugin management, cool new plugins.  There's some possibility that your existing pedalboards won't load if you referenced plugins not in the new batch but we've tried to only add and not remove plugins unless they cause issues.

More stable?  Did you have stability issues before?

Ok, that fixed it!

I have practice tonight and we'll see how it handles a few hours of use.

Thank you!

Good thinkin' @SlimBagel, but I'm near certain his issue isn't preventing a clean boot.  It's that jack (the audio server) isn't running correctly.

Pretty sure I was able to reproduce the issue by plugging in a USB MIDI controller.  The pi boots fine, dmesg output looks good.  But, jack fails to start which means MOD fails to start and thus modalapistomp which drives the LCD doesn't start either.

The problem I'm seeing is that the MIDI controller hijacks hw:0 which jack is expecting the IQAudio card to have.

It's a fairly easy fix which I'll make in the next release (3.0.2) this week.  But if ya wanna DIY it, you just add a file:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Add these lines:
options snd_soc_iqaudiocodec index=0
options snd_usb_audio index=1

Save the file, exit nano.
sudo reboot
