MIDKb

MIDKb is a udev daemon for Linux that binds MIDI devices to keyboard inputs. It's written in Rust and comes with a (kind of) simple configuration file.

For example, you can use your drumpad as input for SDVX's keys, and bind your CC knobs to the FX knobs.

I wrote this just for that above use case actually. I wanted to play USC with my MIDI controller, but turns out that game does not support MIDI input, only keyboard. So I wrote this program to convert MIDI signals to keyboard presses.

Features

• Bind MIDI notes to keyboard keys
• Bind MIDI CC to keyboard keys
