Use this MIDI board for all your music projects using ttymidi and others! Zynthian compatible.

Use this handy guide with Python examples, along with this board, to turn your Raspberry Pi into an OS-discoverable MIDI I/O device. There's also an article here which might come in handy for MIDI work with the Raspberry Pi too!

IMPORTANT - the user guide has been updated following some issues with the latest Raspberry Pi OS kernel (the kernel changes broke the software). New examples have been added thanks to contributions from a customer.

MIDI Board for Raspberry Pi [discontinued]
The hardware itself may well be fine. But the documentation for using it consists solely of a blog post at the OSA Electronics web site and the board does not work for me after following all of the recommended steps and installing the software required. Worse, the company do not respond to support requests at all. I have years of experience working with Linux and have tried everything I can think of to get this thing working but I had hoped that after spending £30 (it's way over-priced too) on this item, I would have a better experience and at least have decent documentation and support available. Disappointed and dissatisfied.

This board does not work. I've tried reaching out to OSA Electronics who makes the board, someone from OSA did offer to help resolve the problem, but after a full explanation, they have not replied. I am happy to give it one star for the excellent build quality, but sadly it is of no use.

Having meticulously followed the installation instructions, I have failed to make this device work. It is a USB to MIDI device built onto a PCB, I happen to own a free standing USB to MIDI device, I tried that on the Pi and it worked. I have seen on a Raspberry Pi forum one other who has a similar problem so I'm not the only one. I would love to know how the others who submitted reviews got theirs to work, because I've wasted enough time on this and I've given up.

Much easier than trying to build a MIDI input.
