Turn a Raspberry Pi into a Bluetooth Midi device , this assumes your using raspbian. By default you still need to plug in a real usb midi device into the Raspberry PI, however it's very possible to send midi signals from software and transmit them via Bluetooh. While I may add this latter, it's not included with this release.

Takes https://neuma.studio/rpi-midi-complete.html and wraps it into a nice automated script. I removed the OLED display step, so all you need to get started is a Rasbperry Pi( tested against a PI Zero with a otg cable). In the future I hope to get this working with Maschine controllers as well, but since they don't use a standard Midi connection that's a bit harder.

The Bluez installed here is a forked version to support Bluetooth Midi, forked again by me to fix a very minor C header issue. I've already submitted a PR, but until it's merged we'll have to use this :

Tested against: Rasberry Pi OS Lite(32 bit) Released 2021-10-30.

This can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes.

Run the following commands :

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install git

Then run

git clone https://github.com/Mylab6/PiBluetoothMidSetup

cd PiBluetoothMidSetup

sudo python3 setup_midi.py

Cannot reconnect after the connection is forgotten

Hi thank you for your work.

I run your scripts on both Raspberry Pi Zero version 1 and version 2. At the first try I was able to connect my laptop to the RPi0 Midi server and connection was stable. Then decided to do more testing, and I deleted/forgot the connection on the PC and try to reconnect. Then the PC has a hard time reconnectiong. Sometimes it connects shortly, then disconnects, also the raspberry py bluetooth appears dissapears often from the list when I search for it. Below you see the messages:

I believe the issue could be in the fork of https://github.com/oxesoft/bluez which is using a very old version (2017) of the official bluez https://github.com/bluez/bluez

Any suggestions how to approach it? Do you experiece similar situation?
