General MIDI Module with the Raspberry Pi

20/12/2016

I recently got a Raspberry Pi and my first project is using it as a General MIDI Module.

With a USB MIDI adapter and running FluidSynth, you can load any .SF2 SoundFont and hook this up to your DOS Retro Gaming PC. I did a thorough write up on this site with lots of pictures. You can set everything up with Graphical User Interfaces, so this is excellent for first time Raspberry Pi users.

The entire project can be setup using GUI (Graphical User Interface)

Cool project Phil, I'll give it a shot, I have many Raspberrys lying around. Let me know if you need assistance with Linux,it's my operating system of choice since I stop used Windows 2000 back in the day.

Cheers!
