Glad you got it working MaidenHawaii. One of the instructions was to format the card using SDFormatter before you extract and load the image. This would have saved you some time.

Now as I have said many times in this forum, the error for the JackServer is NOT related to the JackMidi which you are using. There are two parts to JackCtl running on the PI. There is the MIDI portion and AUDIO portion. We only need the MIDI portion and the instructions I provided tells you how to set that up. The errors you are experiencing is for the audio server and this is because we have not configured the hardware interface. This can be ignored. Basically if you were to use the PI for audio, you would have to setup the PIs audio interface so that you can connect to other audio devices. The error has NO impact on the function that you seek.

Enjoy the versatility of the PI!

I had used the SDformatter...I think it was just my inexperience taking over...It all kinda came together after I installed NOOBS by itself...Once I got that working, I regrouped, burned the image again and presto! 
And funny thing is, I noted the error message while going through this thread, but wasn't sure what to look for when it did show up...I got so excited it worked, I forgot about the non-issue of the error message...! 

I rebooted the pi without the peripherals, and it took about 20 seconds to get connected...works like a charm!

If you don't want to see the popup every time, just deselect the "Messages" button on the main window and the next time you reboot, you won't see it. Same with the other windows as well. I'd say you are set. ;)

I will do that when I log back in later.  I would say that I am set, too.  Thank you again for the work you have put in to this, and to all who have contributed...this guitarist appreciates it!   :)

Do I need heatsinks or RPI, Cover and Power brick will do?

Nope. Just put it in a RPI case and go. Of course if you make your own, provide adequate ventilation such as holes or fan.

Thanks! :) I think the latest incarnation of RPI P3 it's best buy now. I need only the power brick.

After struggling some time with images, wrong sd-card sizes, connecting monitor keyboard ect. and setting everything up, I found another way that may be of interest for some of you. I am using a 'Raspberry Pi Zero W' and 'MakerSpot 8-in-1 Raspberry Pi Zero W Mega Starter Pack' which comes at around 25-30 euros. *everything runs headless*

here are the steps I took:

1) Get PiBakery (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/pibakery/), Setup hostname/Pw/WIFI and flash Raspbian Lite
2) Find client IDs of your MIDI-USB devices (e.g. by connecting to pi via putty) running the command "aconnect -i"
3) Create another image which connects MIDI-USB devices on every boot (in my case SA-HH->OP-1, SA-HH->GP-10, GP-10->OP-1) by adding "aconnect <src id> <dst id>"

after that, hopefully everything runs and connects at every boot! (credit goes to bleo from https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=64340 )

edit: as the port number may change it is even better to use the device names instead, i.e., "aconnect 'GP-10':0 'OP-1 Midi Device':0"  instead of "aconnect 20:0 24:0".

Hi all

Well I have taken the plunge and ordered the gp-10. But have to wait for delivery!!!

I would really like to try this PI midi thing to connect to my iPad and other outboard midi stuff

Now my question. This is a long thread and I can't see the walkthrough of how to set this up?

Does anyone have the link please?

Thanks

Check the PiBakery method above if you want a fast and headless setup (no need for connecting montior/mouse/keyboard). If you know the names of the usb midi devices you can go directly to step 3) and have everything working in about 15 minutes.

Thank you Chopsuey!! Your method works perfectly (I have used an old Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ with a 4GB sd card). Working in less than 15 minutes as you said. Really great!!!

I don't know if this has been posted before, but if anyone is looking to make a raspberry pi into a USB host for midi, I just followed these instructions and it's very simple:

https://neuma.studio/rpi-midi-complete.html
https://neuma.studio/rpi-as-midi-host.html
Running the FTP into my Roland keyboard with the Pi is the lowest latency I've ever experienced. I'm very jazzed about this setup. It's starting to feel like the fulfilled promise of MIDI guitar when I first started down the road in the early 90s.

The neuma image will also work to add bluetooth midi to the Gp-10, no config just copy the image and plug in Gp-10
