Hello hello!

I've recently discovered that @samhocevar had made a small tool (midi2pico8) to use MIDI controllers with the PICO-8 tracker. I've iterated on it for my personal use and thought it might be worth sharing to the community. I hope it can be of use to some people!

So here it is:

• Latest release
• Github Repo

midi2pico8dx

Midi2pico8dx is a small commandline utility that maps MIDI input to keyboard keys for use in PICO-8.

• Bind keys, buttons and knobs to keyboard inputs!
• A single json config file to simply create or edit key bindings!
• The config file supports profiles. Have different bindings for all your MIDI controllers!
• MIDI controller auto detection & profile auto selection!

Forked from https://github.com/samhocevar/midi2pico8.

Instructions

• (if you want to configure midi2pico8dx, open, edit and save config.json prior to running the program)
• run midi2pico8dx.exe
• plug in your MIDI device, tap a few keys to test it
• use the MIDI device to input keys in the PICO-8 tracker
