+mid2key
+=======
+
+*Note: this program is really old, and is mainly here for archival purposes. It may or may not work.*
+
+Small GNU/Linux program that captures live midi input (a device like /dev/midi1 ) and maps the notes to simulated key presses.
+The map is set by a simple config file.
+
+Requires X11 with the XTest extension and alsa.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+### From source
+
+  * Make sure you have the X11 and alsa development files (libx11-dev and libasound2-dev in some distributions' repositories)
+  * Download source from the download tab, extract somewhere.
+  * Using the console, cd into the directory and run make
+  * If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to run the application
+
+### From binary
+
+  * Make sure you have alsa installed (libasound2 in some repositories)
+  * Extract the binary from the download page to a directory.
+  * Make executable if necessary.
+  * Run.
+
+### Example usage
+
+`./mid2key /dev/midi1 fofixdrums`
+
+Where /dev/midi1 is the midi device, and fofixdrums is the path to the config file.
+
+### Example config file
+
+```
+#set note #32 to spacebar
+32=space
+#set note #33 to keycode 67
+33=67
+#leave note #34 unset
+34=
+#also set note 35 to space
+35=space
+```
