Setup Help

It seems like I can't get SamplerBox to work for the life of me. Out of the box RPi. SSHed in and set audio device id to 1.

Here's some config details.

AUDIO_DEVICE_ID = 1
SAMPLES_DIR = "/media/"
USE_SERIALPORT_MIDI = False
USE_I2C_7SEGMENTDISPLAY = False
USE_BUTTONS = False
MAX_POLYPHONY = 80

here's the output from python samplerbox.py. Thanks for any help! I've been following this project for a while and finally built up the guys to buy an RPi!

it seems that the media directory in the os is empty.

I was able to mount the usb through the SSH terminal, but will I have to ssh in each time I want to use it?

Hi,

I had a similar problem using RPi internal audio device (AUDIO_DEVICE_ID = 1) and reading from usb drive (SAMPLER_DIR = /media/). Try with an external USB DAC and reading samples from a card reader or directly from microSD.
