I tried using the 2020 distribution image without any changes in the config.txt and samplerbox/configuration.txt with Pi Zero - the image does not boot on Pi Zero.
Yes, I am happy with the older 2019 distribution image for experimenting with Pi Pico as USB midi controller.
As we do not get new SD cards smaller than 8GB, I store the samples on the SD card itself on the resized /samples. This arrangement gives me one more free USB slot or longer battery life.
I feel that the samplerbox.py code should be modified so that some default sample gets loaded even if there are no valid samples found in /samples or external usb drive. This would address frustrations of many users regarding no sound first time.
Best,
Rajiv
Hello rajivdeo,
I can't comment on the failing new distribution without more info, except for: take a close look at the files on /boot (or root dir of inserted SD on PC). There may be configs on there (config.txt and samplerbox/configuration.txt) you may have adapted to your local setup which are replaced by the originals now.
Anyway, this seems not to be related with your main subject of using the pico.
The USB conflict / double usage is indeed a likely cause. I have to think about that...
Additional question: where do you store your samples
Thanks, Hans
- On the internal sample space
- On a USB drive not recognized anymore when using the pico
