MidiKinesis — MIDI controllers for (almost) any purpose

MidiKinesis is a Python package that maps MIDI control change events to user-defined X events, with the purpose of controlling almost any graphical user interface using the buttons, dials, and sliders on a MIDI keyboard controller such as the Edirol PCR30. Key ingredients are Python modules providing access to the ALSA sequencer as well as the XTest standard extension.
