Hi,

I built my Samplerbox using the hardware from the original project shown here:

https://www.samplerbox.org/files/sampler...matics.jpg

I have pretty much that exact setup. I am using the midi din port (with an old yamaha pss680 as the midi controller).

I am using a Pi 2B. I have newer available but thought that would be powerful enough.

However with the original samplerbox I found that it seems very slow, if I press and release a key quickly (less than one second) then the note off isn't actioned so the note keeps playing until I press and release the key again slowly. On their forum I saw someone else describing the same issue and they were suggested to try this port so I have downloaded the 2021 image onto an SD card.

I am trying to setup the samplerbox configuration.txt to work with the hardware setup I have already.

I have set:

USE_I2C_7SEGMENTDISPLAY = True

but cannot see anywhere to define the I2C port and address for a 7segmentdisplay, only for HD44780 LCD.

I can't see where to configure 2 push button switches to move from one sample to the next like you can on the original samplerbox project, is that not possible anymore? How can I use the push buttons with a 7segment display since it wont show a menu system?

I am getting no sound, I have my midi din wired as per that diagram from the original samplerbox website, I do wonder if my issue there is that it's not picking up the correct audio out device (I have the usb dac connected), I can investigate this myself.
