EigenD 3.0.2-Beta-4-Ubuntu

EigenD 3.0.2-Beta-4 (Ubuntu)

This Ubuntu/Linux build fixes a recurring USB issue with the Alpha/Tau base station.

Fixed

Base station goes silent on Linux (no lights, setups or keygroups).
The self-powered base station could get stuck with its isochronous OUT stream
wedged: it enumerated, the EM→MM mode switch succeeded (USB id 2139:0003 →
2139:0105), and both the controller and base station reported "connected" — yet
EigenD sent nothing to the controller (no tonic lights, no key splits, no
setups). Because the base station is mains powered, the bad state survived a USB
replug and even a full host reboot; only a USB-level reset cleared it. The
native macOS/Windows drivers reset the device on open, but the Linux path did
not — so once wedged it stayed wedged until the hardware was reset from another
machine.

EigenD on Linux now issues a USB device reset when it opens the base station, so
it self-heals on start — just quit and restart EigenD. If the automatic reset
ever needs to be disabled, set PI_USB_NO_RESET=1 before launching.

A manual fallback (usbreset 2139:0105) and full background are documented in
the README "Troubleshooting" section and in UBUNTU_FIXES.md.

Install

sudo dpkg -i pi-eigend_3.0.2-beta-4.deb

Installs to /usr/local/pi/release-3.0.2-beta-4/ with a desktop entry and icon.

EigenD 3.0.2-Beta-3-Ubuntu

Continued update to the original work by thetechnobear, with further improvements for building and running on modern Ubuntu Linux hosts.

What's new in this release:

• Build now auto-detects the installed Python version (3.12 / 3.13 / 3.14) instead of pinning to a single version
• Added LV2 plugin format hosting support on Linux
• Added optional LADSPA plugin format hosting on Linux

Builds on the VST3 hosting and plugin scanner fixes from the previous beta.

EigenD

This is an update to the original amazing work done by thetechnobear updating EigenD to run on modern hardware and operating systems. It includes fixes and work to make it build and work on Ubunut linux hosts.

Please note, there are still issues with plugin scanner, which has yet to be updated to work with linux audio plugins. That is on the roadmap for future releases.
