After much trial and error the prototype now works in its MVP state. The MVP works such that when StreetMidi is turned on, a plugged in midi controller will control a preselected patch of a VST. The current configuration is a Raspberry Pi 3 B running Raspbian and launching the Dexed VST on start up. Dexed is an open source Yamaha DX7 emulator being used as the main VST for the purposes of the beginning phase of this project.
