For my pi setup, I made a sep fat32 partition just for piggy and its files so I could sneakernet it to the desktop pc.

Nice. I should reserve a half gig partition just for this.

Thank you! Def going to try this img!

Thank you, litch!

Has anyone given this a test with a Pi 3?

awesome. you should set this build up on a 4GB sd card and upload an img file at some point. i'm sure people both here & in the lgpt facebook group would appreciate it

Haven't seen any 4 GB SD cards on sale in my hometown. I'll check with my local Pi-experimentalist group to see if they have a card I can borrow.

EDIT: Got access to a Linux computer, successfully shrunk things down, and set up a Google Drive link in the top post. *bump*

I work at a small thrift store and am composing VGM, random jingles, and podcast themes as a side hustle.
I also experiment with mobile machines that contain an Arduino or a Rasberry Pi.

Piggy Experimentalists!

I've just discovered Piggy can officially run on a Pi 2 with Raspbian Stretch!

Details for the Build

UPDATE:
Pi Image Now Available For 4 GB + SD Cards
(8 GB + recommended)

Some notes:

Pros:

- the best USB soundcards to use contain a CM108 chipset
- audio buffer at 128 runs smoothly
- did not need to setup xbox drivers
- no pulseaudio problems with this method (provided the alsa.conf file is edited correctly depending on your USB soundcard)
- looks beautiful even on a small screen
- basic MIDI out notation works without any noticeable latency issues (just need to test CC effects)
- can be ran on a Pi Zero

Cons

- it will take some time and patience to get this going successfully
- many times soundfonts do not playback
- still don't know if LGPT works on a Pi 3 with this method
- auto-boot from console and lxsessions has given me problems or just a completely black screen (this doesn't happen when using a Pi 1B+)
- and as usual, built-in audio sucks
- there's occassional audio clicking and bad "feedback"

Note: While this works well on a Pi 2, LGPT has been known to crash on occassion. If this is a real problem while performing live, it would be safe to run LGPT on a Pi 1 B+ with custom higher audio-buffer settings as I've had no crash issues as of 2019 with this setup. Give this a shot and let me know if there's anything else discovered or if there's other issues to note!
