I’m experimenting with getting various samples and VST’s working with EigenD to get used to working with them, but since I’m using EigenD on my laptop with Windows, I’m running into some limitations since that version of EigenD is 32-bit only. Are there any work-arounds or methods to get 64-bit DAW’s and other programs to communicate with EigenD? Also, will there be any updates to EigenD that will extend support to 64-bit Windows in due time I’m not sure how often Eigenlabs updates their software.

Hello!

Hello!

Still rather new to the Eigenharp, but having a blast learning what I can put into it! Got a Tau some time ago. I’ve been experimenting with VST’s and saw mention of Native Instruments’ Kontakt and Reaktor 6 players. When I have Eigend search them out, though, they come back as failed plugins. I’ve seen this happen with a couple other VST’s I tried out as well. I saw something on the other forums mentioning that Eigend maybe doesn’t support 64-bit plugins, so that’s my best guess on why it doesn’t work. Anybody have advice on how to troubleshoot failed plugins or get them working?

Have a strange tech issue, and looking for some insight.

Have a strange tech issue, and looking for some insight.

My main rig is a Win10 64 rig. Well, the other day, inexplicably my Tau stopped working. The PSU shows up in device manager, but it can’t connect to EigenD.

I have tried reinstalling the drivers, EigenD, tried different USB ports, Different versions of the driver, tried the “with audio capable firmware” driver, and the with “extension mode firmware” driver, versions 1, 1.0.1, completely uninstalling and scrubbing drivers and files, and reinstalling, 8 different USB ports and cable combos… Nothing.

Move it over to a laptop, running same versions, and everything works. It just simply will not work whatsoever on my main rig, and WAS working fine up until Thursday. No, no windows update in that time, and no other USB device is having trouble.

So, before I have to throw a “hail mary” and completely reinstall my OS hoping that the problem goes away, can anyone think of ANYTHING that would cause this? Have never had this problem before, and can’t duplicate it on any other machine. Everything looks like it checks out hardware wise, and the device detects and clearly the driver loads, but EigenD simply cannot see it on this machine.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I’d rather not spend a day or two reinstalling all my audio stuff because of one weird driver issue.

I just installed EigenD on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Stretch.

I just installed EigenD on my Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Stretch. I’m no linux guy, so to help other newbies I made a suggestion for updated rPI install instructions:

4.5 – Linux (ARM)

Installing on Raspbian Stretch

PREPARATIONS

Copy “EigenD-gpl-2.1.7-community-arm.deb” and “linux_eigend.sh.txt” to a memory stick. Rename “linux_eigend.sh.txt” to “linux_eigend.sh”.

INSTALLING

Plug the memory stick into the Raspberry. It should be mounted automatically with the path “/media/pi/(name of stick)”.

To install EigenPi, type “cd /media/pi/(name of stick)” and then “sudo dpkg -i EigenD-gpl-2.1.7-community-arm.deb”. EigenD should now reside in /usr/local/pi/release-2.1.7-community

Copy the startup script linux_eigend.sh to the EigenD folder by typing “sudo cp /media/pi/(name of stick)/linux_eigend.sh /usr/local/pi/release-2.1.7-community”.

Set some file access rights needed by EigenD by typing “sudo chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb//“. Then “sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/pi/release-2.1.7-community/linux_eigend.sh”.

To start EigenD, type “/usr/local/pi/release-2.1.7-community/linux_eigend.sh”. The VST plugin scanning will hang, but still try to do it once so you won’t be asked again. Cancel the big factory preset when it tries to load and select the blank one as default instead.

User setups are stored at “/home/pi/.Eigenlabs/2.1.7-community/Setups”.

To make EigenD automatically run on desktop start, type “nano /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart” and add “@/usr/local/pi/release-2.1.7/linux_eigend.sh &” to the bottom of that file.

Hi!

Hi!

My friend just gave me his pico (he has never used it) and I’m setting it up. I’ve spent several days going through the web, forum, wikis, g+ groups and github. I need help because I only manage to play one setup with one instrument

My current status is this:

– I have a Mac Book Air with MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

– After many crashes i managed to instal the EigenD, following the instructions for the latest community release (http://www.eigenlabs.com/forum/threads/id/1507/?page=1#snap_post12346)

– Now when I plug the Pico it turns on. It loads the standard setup but no sound. – The only setup that works is Example Setups – Modular Synth (where there’s only 1 instrument)

– The Eigen Browser shows only Factory Loops and User Loops folder but both are empty

I also tried it in a Windows laptop I have. There I can see all kinds of setups in the browser, but I never managed to get any sound out of it…

If anybody can help I’d appreciate it!

Can someone remind me how to change the scales attached to the scale talker in the factory setup now that the EigenBrowser doesn’t work. Ideally I’d like to pick from the named list, rather than have to figure out the semitone ofssets.

The Global Scale Talker refers to a set of variables which I’m assuming are related? The Scale Manager displays a single scale name, but changing this doesn’t seem to have any effect.
