Why bash/shell scripts? I need the Linux distro to
be
small, fast, and able to run on recycled hardware or a
flash drive. It may also run headless, or with a very
small display.
you could whip this up with pd -nogui and the shell object in a few minutes. similar feats
could praobly be accomplished with SC, or ALSA MIDI bindings to the scripting language of
your choice. if you REALLY want to just use the base UNIX utils, you will have to enable
the OSS/virmidi stuff in ALSA config, to get devices like /dev/midi0, or use amidi --dump
and parse the binary stream (not sure if sed or awk can even do this..)
