This library allows an Arduino board with USB capabilites to act as a MIDI instrument over USB. The library is based on PluggableUSB, so is only compatible with IDE 1.6.6 and nightly builds (AVR core > 1.6.8, SAM core > 1.6.4, SAMD core > 1.6.1)

Load the correct driver (sudo modprobe snd_seq_midi)

Flash the board with MIDIUSB_loop example, then execute aseqdump -l; the output will be something similar to

Port 20 is the one we’ll use in the following examples.

Start fluidsynth inside a shell with a soundbank

In another shell, execute

to connect our MIDI device with fluidsynth

Then, execute

and the file will be played after a complete roundtrip to the board.
