Midictrl-Companion

Read signals from a MIDI device and redirect them to Bitfocus Companion.

Requirements

Setup

First, clone this repository:

$ git clone https://git.abmgrt.dev/rainloreley/midictrl-companion.git
$ cd midictrl-companion

Connect the MIDI device and run

$ aseqdump -l
Port    Client name                      Port name
 0:0    System                           Timer
 0:1    System                           Announce
14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
24:0    Arduino Micro                    Arduino Micro MIDI 1
...

to get the device name of the MIDI device.

Edit the midictl.sh file and change the following variables:

  • MIDI_CLIENT: The client name you just got from the command before
  • BANK: The id of the bank in Bitfocus Companion you want to control

Now make the file executable and copy it to /usr/local/bin:

$ chmod +x midictrl.sh
$ mv midictrl.sh /usr/local/bin
# If using systemd:
$ mv midictrl.service /etcx/systemd/system
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl enable midictrl.service --now

Currently you have to restart the service/script if you connect the MIDI device after the computer is started.
