midibot

Text-controlled MIDI device and sequencer.

This takes text commands and makes a MIDI device to output the messages to your DAW or MIDI-compatible software.

Initially intended to function with a twitch/IRC bot for multi-user interactivity.

To run, install requirements.txt and run midibot/midibot.py.

The function 'recieve_message' will take a command string, and if valid, send the relevant MIDI message. It will also return a string with relevant information to pass back to the user.

Commands and Track Names are defined in the .ini files within /settings - this is where you define your MIDI mappings for CCs and tracks.
