linux midi latch
Implement latch functionality where each key acts as a toggle for a note for midi devices on linux. Optionally switch this functionality on and off with the systain pedal. Uses mido, only works on linux
Alternatives and prior work
Some hardware implements latching. Apparently Nord Lead A1, Sequential Prophet 6 and Novation Summit amongt others.
mido gives you complete control over what midi doers so you can do what you want if you are willing to put in the work - which has become fairly cheap with LLMs. Apparently, the VST Bidule has a midi latch feature as does VCV rack. These will work on windows. loopMIDI combined with mido apparently gives you programmatic contorl on windows. I have not tried most of thse things.
Installation
pipx install linux-midi-latch
Usage
linux-midi-latch --alsa
Use aconnect to route midi traffic through linux-midi-latch.
There are --jack and --osc options. I have not tested them nor do I know how to use them, but mididings works with jthem.
My setup
I am using this with an impact gxp6 nektar on Ubuntu LTS with a yamaha sustain pedel using alsa midi and fluidsynth.
