midi-hid
This software allows mapping and translating of MIDI commands to HID inputs on Linux.
Installation and Usage
Install with
go install git.datalore.sh/datalore/midi-hid@latest
and run it with midi-hid. If no config file is specified, it reads ~/.config/midi-hid/config.yaml.
Every configured midi controller will be represented by a virtual gamepad, and the inputs will be translated until SIGINT is received.
See the provided example config on how to configure your controller, it should be pretty self-explanatory.
Known issues
The midi library used seems to recognise NoteOff messages as NoteOn messages. However, they can still be recognised by checking the velocity, which is always 0 in NoteOff messages. A workaround has been implemented.
