I have an older Raspberry Pi A+ v1.1 laying around that I found a use for. I have a USB midi interface, and I would like to run the Pi as a Midi filter to prevent 2 consecutive notes from passing through. I honestly thought with the advent of ChatGPT that this would be pretty straight forward, but it is proving to be anything but. It seems that everything just runs me into more and more roadblocks. The most common issue seems to be that all the libraries and files I need are too new for use on this Pi. I've been trying to install Python and a usable Midi library so that I can monitor incoming notes and then filter as necessary. I've tried multiple OS's, the various versions of lite won't load at all. So I ended up finally on Bullseye full Pi OS, that at least fires up and gets me to a usable terminal. After that, nothing seems to work. I've installed Python 3.9. I've attempted several versions of rtmidi-python, as well as Mido, none of them even pass any attempts to validate a successful install.
I was hoping to find an OS with all the necessary libraries already installed, but had no luck there.
Can anyone get me started or pointed in the right direction?
