pimidid

A small daemon to automatically connect MIDI devices to FluidSynth.

pimidid does the following:

• At startup, connect all readable ports.
• When a udev kernel add event from the sound subsystem is received, get the card id and connect all its readable ports.
• When a SIGHUP is received, connect all readable ports.

Before each of the above conditions, rescan for the FluidSynth port in case its id has changed.

Usage

pimidid

Installation

This has only been used with OpenRC.

• Make sure you have a FluidSynth daemon running, with the name fluidsynth. Edit pimidid.openrc if you don’t.
• Compile the application and stick it at /usr/sbin/pimidid
• Copy pimidid.openrc to /etc/init.d/pimidid
• Add the service: rc-update add pimidid default
