Getting Started

[gary-1959]

A couple of hurdles to get my installation working:

1. To install PyQt5 I had to use 'pip install PyQt5'

2. My V25 has 2 MIDI ports, neither of which match the name prefix in /device/alesis.py, line 8.
   To get a list of port names I used the following:
   python

   import mido
   print(mido.get_input_names())

3. I edited /device/alesis.py, line 8. changing:
   _PORT_PREFIX = "V25:V25 MIDI to _PORT_PREFIX = "V25:V25 EDITOR

Everything seems OK as a standalone. When I try it with Ardour/Jack it hangs after the first instruction. I'll do a bit of debugging and see if I can get it to play nicely together.

Otherwise, brilliant! Was just about to junk my V25, so another landfill win!
