Hi Bill,

i've tried this for a simple Arduino based MIDI pedal (ttyMIDI wasn't
available at the time). If you're running JACK this could be an
alternative:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/7890/jack_tools/master/example-clients/tty.c

using this library for Arduino:
https://github.com/FortySevenEffects/arduino_midi_library/

I don't know how tty.c differs from ttyMIDI, you have to try what fits
best your case.

Greetings
Thomas

Your hardware should correctly implement the USB MIDI protocol in the
first place.

Anyway, you could try a tool like ttyMIDI.

[Alsa-user] Using a USB serial device as a MIDI source

2017-05-07 Thread Bill Purvis
I'm currently working on an Arduino-based project which generates MIDI 
output.
Under Linux it appears as a /dev/ttyUSB?. How can I persuade ALSA to 
treat it as a MIDI
source (and possibly destination).
