Just tried this. Here is the result:

        You may want to make bristolengine a suid-root executable
spawning midi thread
Could not reschedule thread to 2
parent going into idle loop
        flags are 8a000000
midi sequencer
Returning socket 5
Opened listening control socket: 5028
Client ID = 129
Queue ID = 0
Device name did not parse, defaults 128.0
Cannot subscribe port 0 from client 128: Operation not permitted
Error opening midi device /dev/midi, exiting midi thread

Initialise the hammondB3 link to bristol: 8101220

Doing it sudo skips the suid message but the rest is the same!
