Midi display software for Raspberry Pi

#1

I finally got my hands on my first RPI 3b, what I am looking at for options, is to display incoming midi data on some software I install on the RPI. Preferably software tat is flexible enough to design your own forms for displaying data.
But I am not having much luck trying to understand what is available, a lot of stuff appears to be for Android devices, sending midi data only, or am I misunderstanding this ..:tired_face:

I saw a software called "Lemur", I think it sort of explained that it will take midi inputs, but found nothing about installing it on the RPI.

The only other option I thought, is to learn to program in Python and right my own software, but this could be the long way around and would prefer to avoid it, at least to begin with.

Does anyone here have any recommendations they can offer ?
:grin:

puredata can do this, and MUCH more. however it takes a little getting used to for a newbie.

Someone on the pisound forum recommended "open stage control" , and it does look quite interesting.

thanks guys, I'll check them out.

Oh ! You have to check this out, I was almost sold on "Puredata" when I stumbled apon something called "Ctrlr"
http://ctrlr.org/

First time use, within 10 minutes I was sending Midi CC data from Axo to a dial in Ctrlr, its so easy...

oh, Id forgotten about ctrlr !

a few years back, I used some of the panels that others had create... but found it very buggy.
but perhaps that was the panels rather than ctrlr... (in fairness, the panels I used were very complex, like the VirusTI one)

one thing I do remember is, they only did nightly builds, and their backwards compatibility was shockingly bad.... so finding the build that would work with panel X was a nightmare.

they may have improved this... and also its not an issue if you are creating your own panels, and not sharing them, or you keep them up to date with the current build.
