I test zynthianos headless with rapberry 5 8Gb for a pure data project.
I succeful install zynthian with my pure data project, however after 30 seconde to 1 minute that i use my patch, pure data frozen: midi touch was reconized by zynthian ( ‘m’ symbol) but the sound don’t work.
It is a patch for sampler driving by an AKAI mpk and it containt many subpatch and abstraction.
It is possible that pure data is limited in zynthian os??
Can I parameter Zynthian for more resource for pure data??
My patch work successful with patchbox os on my raspberry.
I am interressed by patchbox for is sound card and screen integrete in a box : Can I use patchboxOs with the hardware zynthian v5 ??
It would be helpful to know more about your puredata patch. Based on what you described, it is difficult to say what could cause this freeze.
Which patch is it?
How did you start the puredata patch?
Are you using special abstractions for it?
Is there definitely no midi loop?
Which specifications has the patchbox box where the patch ran before?
Is the soundcard accessible by other programs after freezing?
Can you access the terminal (via webconf or ssh) to see which process blocks or is the whole system frozen?
IMO, patchboxOS should be able to be run on a zynthian box, but why would you do this? Zynthian just gives you more possibilities.

Dear @romger,
I downloaded your patch and opened it directly within puredata in Zynthian. There are a lot of errors (unsig~, playlist, externals/comport is 32bit compiled, several files not found…).
I don’t understand the workflow of this patch, but when I press “Play” inside the UI of the patch, I can hear bass drum, and other percussion - also after some minutes.
When I press a key (C3,C#3,…) on a connected midi device the bank changes to another number (13,14,…). When I set it back in the UI, no BD could be triggered. But when I play C2, the bank jumps back to 1 and the bass drum could be retriggered again. No sound issues.
IMO the patch is not working “correctly”, but I don’t understand the concept behind it. It seems to be an autonomous looper (??) working as puredata patch, meant to be used standalone? I’m not sure.
I don’t explain what is utility of this patch. I am Sorry !!
It is a sampler. the sample are in the folder samples/samplerBank/NUMBER-OF-BANK. when I upload to GitHub I was limited to upload mu files and I upload just bank number ‘1’ and ‘2’ .
It is right that my patch have several error. I believed that was kindly, because It’s worked in my Pc under linux and it worked on my raspberry under patchboxOs.
Actually I try to repairs this problem. It better to have a patch without error. But I am not sure that resolve my problem (patch work on my raspberry with an other distribution).
Of course! You simply need to enable VNC and connect from your computer using the link from the webconf. In the wiki you can find more detailed description of how all this work.
Reload webconf and navigate to INTERFACE->UI-Engines
Enter the Zynthian password (default: raspberry)
Assert means find and check the box. Note the requirement to reload webconf and newer password - opensynth - ask back here if you get stuck on any of the five steps.
1.5 Viewing Zynthian UI and Synth Engine Native GUIs on your Computer
Some engines have a native GUI that can be accessed from your desktop/laptop computer. Zynthian provides a VNC viewer for a desktop that allows access to these native GUI. By default VNC is disabled and it is recommended to disable for performance (as it has a small overhead which is best saved for your audio). To enable VNC and access the desktop and engines’ native GUI:
Connect via web browser to webconf
Navigate to INTERFACE->UI Options
Assert Enable VNC Server option and press Save
Reload webconf and navigate to INTERFACE->UI-Engines
Enter the Zynthian password (default: raspberry)
Note: There is also an option to access the Zynthian main UI by navigating to INTERFACE-VNC UI. This is a mirror of the main UI and may be driven from VNC and/or the physical interface.
The VNC views may be accessed directly via the URLs:
Many LV2 plugins (NoizeMaker, OBX-d, Surge, DragonFly Reverbs, …) and some of the standalone engines (ZynAddSubFX, Aeolus, Pianoteq and PureData) have support for remotely displaying their native GUIs. If VNC is enabled, the engine’s GUI will be launched automatically when added to a chain.
