to KeyKit
I recently ported KeyKit to the Raspberry Pi, where it seems to work well, including the GUI (assuming you have an X Windows display connected).  If you want to check it out, this repo is now public:


and a pre-compiled version for the Raspberry Pi can be found at:


You should be able to just unzip it, cd into the key/bin directory, and execute ./key.  I have a Raspberry Pi 4, but I assume it should work on the 3 as well.  Getting MIDI to work on the Raspberry Pi can be done by following the instructions on this page: http://tedfelix.com/linux/linux-midi.html  You don't necessarily need to use a low-latency kernel or realtime audio group.

I've also recently made the changes necessary for KeyKit to run on 64-bit machines.
