How To Create a 4 Port USB Midi Host From a Raspberry Pi

Follow
61 Key Audio

I have been busy writing some Python Script to make it easier for you to create your own USB Midi Host from a Raspberry Pi. You can buy dedicated USB Midi Hosts but they can be a little pricey and you only seem to be able to connect one or two devices as a rule. If you have a Raspberry Pi you can create a 4 port USB Midi Host. I will put the code up on my Patreon Channel for you to download if you want to give it a try. In this video I will show you how it works and to paying Patreons you have the extra benefit of having access to the Mapping version that I have created. This gives you ability to choose which of your devices maps to an other device.
