Hello again. I've experimented some curious behavior in Rakarrack (RK). It behaves different when I call it the same way (command line parameters and configuration) but adding parameter "--no-gui". When I start RK with GUI it reacts (I can see lights in buttons and hear the incoming signal with effects applied) when I switch on/off effects with my pedalboard via MIDI, but If I use it without gui it doesn't respond to any switching (you can here the incoming untouched). This didn't happen before, I think. So maybe it has to do with the fact that I changed recently RK's MIDI listening channel to 16, instead of channel 1 by default. So maybe this issue has to do with Rakarrack not taking the configuration. I've checked configuration file when running without gui and it is what I configured, just reading it in a text editor, it's the same as with gui. Note: Every time I run RK I see messages like: " Too many levels linked..." ... or something like that. I supposed that it was because of having RK's configuration directory linked with a symbolic link to another place in the file system where It is placed, but I tested with just the directory not linked and messages are still there. Note2: I also thought that it had to do with lack of free harddisk memory available on root partition, or with Raspberry PI lack of resources, but I guess that if it works with GUI it should work without given that it should have more resources available. Thanks in advance. -- Carlos sanchiavedraz * Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.es |

I can change programs with MIDI on channel one, but no changes when I try to switch on/off individual effects on channel 16. -- Carlos sanchiavedraz * Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.es |

I've loaded the same preset on my pedalboard that controls individual effects in RK, one on CH01 and the other in CH16. RK with GUI reacts with the later (Ch16 configured in preferences), RK with no GUI reacts to the first (Ch01 not configured, but is the default in RK). -- Carlos sanchiavedraz * Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.es |
