aconnectnode

I wrote this project to help me keep my MIDI devices connected in a SBC with ease.

Requirements

Alsa-tools, Node

Install

git clone https://github.com/claytonmarinho/aconnectnode && cd aconnectnode
npm i

How to use

Type aconnect -l so you can see which MIDI controllers you got in your system. Rename .env-example to .env and edit the env variable CONNECTIONS accordingly to how you want to connect them.

$ sudo aconnect -l
client 0: 'System' [type=kernel]
    0 'Timer           '
    1 'Announce        '
client 14: 'Midi Through' [type=kernel]
    0 'Midi Through Port-0'
client 20: 'Morningstar MC8' [type=kernel,card=1]
    0 'Morningstar MC8 MIDI 1'
    1 'Morningstar MC8 MIDI 2'
    2 'Morningstar MC8 MIDI 3'
    3 'Morningstar MC8 MIDI 4'
client 24: 'DOREMiDi-hub' [type=kernel,card=2]
    0 'DOREMiDi-hub MIDI 1'
    1 'DOREMiDi-hub MIDI 2'
    2 'DOREMiDi-hub MIDI 3'
client 28: 'H9 Pedal' [type=kernel,card=3]
    0 'H9 Pedal MIDI 1 '

## change your .env file
## MC8 -> H9; MC8 -> hub on port 2
## default port is 0
CONNECTIONS=Morningstar MC8,H9 Pedal;Morningstar MC8,DOREMiDi-hub:2

RECONNECT_INTERVAL=60000 # -> useful for situations such when you want to re-estabilish connections without rebooting.

Run the application

# as root user
npm start

pm2

With pm2 you will ensure that your devices stay connected once the system restarts.

# as root user
$ pm2 start ./src/index.js --name aconnectnode
$ pm2 save

## monitor the service
$ pm2 monit acconectnode
