# AutoSyncHost
## Description
### An automatic midi host application that sends midi sync commands to other MIDI devices connected via USB.

This python script is intended to run headless on a raspberry pi but can run on any other python able device as well. 

The output is filtered so the host doesn´t receive sync signals from the members and thus not causing midi loops.

*Notes,CCs and other messages are not handled currently.*

## Installation 
- pull from repository with `git clone https://git.raise-uav.com/Hermes/AutoSyncHost.git`
- `pip install mido` 
- `pip install python-rtmidi`
- `python ashost.py` in folder
- App is running and waiting for a device playing

## Usage
- First MIDI device that sends a midi "start" command becomes the host everybody listens to.
- After hitting stop, ASH has an assigned host and all devices are in sync when pressing play again.
- Pressing "stop" three times will unbind the host from its duties and restart the app and assignment. 

### Notes
It is especially interesting for devices that don´t have a physical MIDI port like the OP-Z or OP-1.
