MIDI Mesh

An open-source, cross-platform MIDI sequencing application. Inspired by mesh networks.

Primarily created for Android, but can be run on desktop with native python (developed with python version 3.11.9, runs fine with 3.12).

Currently, the app has been tested on Android and Debian. However, I've attempted to provide allowances for it to 'just work' on other platforms (adjust your commands if needed). Please provide feedback if you got it working (or not) on other platforms.

Android:

Download the APK from the Releases page and install on-device or via ADB.

If you're adventurous, feel free to build for Android using Buildozer (or p4a directly) using the relevant documentation for your build environment of choice..

To run out of the box on desktop:

On Debian systems, install the dependancies for python-rtmidi:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install build-essential libasound2-dev libjack-jackd2-dev

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/EmergentProperly/MIDIMesh.git

cd /MIDIMesh

Create the environment:

python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

Install requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run:

python3 main.py

ROADMAP (to 1.0):

• Whittle away the monolithic modules

• Clean up and replace some assets and improve usability

• Fix emergent bugs

• Tackle the recently introduced 16kb pagefile requirement for submission to the Play Store (unlikely to do this if 3rd party development is killed off for Android, priority for this is significantly reduced for now) Priority for both issues is currently low.

• Look into semantic versioning requirements etc...

• 1.0

• F-Droid submssion (?)

• ...

• 2.0 to include inbuilt audio engine (synths, sampling, FX, etc)... possible shift in development towards an open source hardware device.

Feedback:

Please share feedback regarding your experience with the app, and any issues you may have faced. I want this to be an awesome tool for creatives, so all rational feedback and/or feature requests will be considered carefully and appreciated.

Have fun!
