Simple boot script start and connect fluidsynth on Raspbian
This project is a simple start-up script to have a Raspberry pi work as a simple software synth for a USB Midi keyboard.
The following commands will install git, clone this repository onto your Raspbian and install all required dependencies
sudo apt-get install git
sudo git clone https://github.com/bneijt/pipiano.git /opt/pipiano
sudo /opt/pipiano/install.sh
After installation, the /opt/pipiano/start.py script will be started as a systemctl service at boot.
It should just get you a working installation if you have the keyboard connected when you boot the pi.
Debugging can be done using:
sudo systemctl status pipiano
sudo systemctl restart pipiano
If you want to configure fluidsynth, you can edit the commands in /opt/pipiano/fluid_config.txt.
To uninstall this, do the reverse of everything in the install.sh script:
systemctl stop pipiano
systemctl disable pipiano
rm /etc/systemd/system/pipiano.service
rm -rf /opt/pipiano
