+lsmi (map keyboard/mouse/joystick input to ALSA MIDI sequencer events)
+
+These simple user-space drivers support using certain homemade,
+repurposed, or commercial devices as MIDI controllers on Linux, even
+though the devices themselves are not capable of generating MIDI messages;
+this does not include things like MIDI-over-serial or PIC based projects,
+which are true MIDI devices.
+
+Reasons for using this software include: achieving MIDI entry on machines
+without MIDI ports, reusing old hardware, pure frugality, and fun.
+
+This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with
+elevated privileges (required for realtime audio processing). This
+may be considered a security/stability risk. Please read
+http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable
+capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script.

+
+lsmi-joystick \- Linux Pseudo MIDI Input -- Joystick
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lsmi-joystick
+.RI [ options ] " files" ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+This driver allows any joystick supported by the Linux joydev interface to
+be used as a MIDI pitch/modulation controller. Of course, some joysticks are
+more suitable than others. I use an old analog flight stick. Holding down
+button 1 causes the vertical axis to send pitchbend messages, while button 2
+causes the vertical axis to send modulation messages. Holding down both
+buttons causes the vertical axis to send pitchbend messages and the
+horizontal axis to send modulation messages. 
+
+.SH USAGE
+
+Distribution specific init scripts are not included. The drivers may be
+started from init, your .bashrc, by qjackctl, etc. In order to be run by a
+non-root user the drivers must have access to the device files in /dev/input.
+This may be accomplished by adding a group 'input', adding desired users to
+this group, and configuring udev to assign the appropriate ownership to files
+in /dev/input. It should be perfectly safe to run the drivers as root,
+however.
+
+For realtime scheduling (the \-R option), either use set_rlimits, or set the
+appropriate POSIX capabilities on the executable:
+.P
+/sbin/setcap cap_ipc_lock,cap_sys_nice=ep /usr/bin/lsmi-joystick
+.P
+The lsmi.SlackBuild script already includes RT scheduling support.

+.SH NAME
+
+lsmi-keyhack \- Linux Pseudo MIDI Input -- Keyboard Hack
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lsmi-keyhack
+.RI [ options ] " files" ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+This driver is for a hacked AT / PS/2 keyboard functioning as a MIDI
+controller.
+
+It is somewhat specific to the author's own hardware, but, since it relies a learning
+capability rather than a fixed keymap, it should be equally useful for
+others wishing to build their own fake MIDI keyboard. Of course, such a
+keyboard will not be velocity sensitive, but this project is a good way to
+salvage both an old QWERTY keyboard and a manual from a decrepit analog
+organ or cheap PCM noise-maker.
+
+The driver supports up to 88 musical keys, three footswitches, and several
+additional buttons for control and data entry. It has the rather unfortunate
+side-effect of rendering the console useless, unless, of course you have
+another (USB) keyboard to type on.
+
+.SH USAGE
+
+Distribution specific init scripts are not included. The drivers may be
+started from init, your .bashrc, by qjackctl, etc. In order to be run by a
+non-root user the drivers must have access to the device files in /dev/input.

+this group, and configuring udev to assign the appropriate ownership to files
+in /dev/input. It should be perfectly safe to run the drivers as root,
+however.

+.SH NAME
+
+lsmi-monterey \- Linux Pseudo MIDI Input -- Monterey
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lsmi-monterey
+.RI [ options ] " files" ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+Monterey is a userspace driver for Monterey
+International MK-9500 / K617W reversible keyboard.
+
+This device consists of a 104 QWERTY AT computer keyboard on one side and a
+37 key, velocity sensitive musical keyboard on the other. In addition to
+flipping the unit over, one must flip a switch on the right side in order to
+change the mode.
+
+The keyboard interface is standard, except that the musical side sends
+two-scancode packets for each piano key press and release ('make' codes
+only). The first scancode indicates the note, the second the velocity: 7
+being the lowest, 1 the highest, and 0 representing a release (or sometimes
+a very very light keypress). The musical side also has buttons for keys F1
+through F9, left and right arrow keys, and return--all generating 'make'
+codes only with no way to register release.
+
+This driver creates an ALSA Sequencer port and attempts to fill it with
+realtime MIDI data representing input from the musical side of the keyboard,
+while passing regular textual data through the uinput interface and on to
+Linux console or X Window System. There is no need to load a special
+application or even run X in order to generate MIDI events: simply flip the
+keyboard over and go nuts. The driver doesn't interfere at all with
+multiple/international layouts. You can even use it along
+side another (merged input) keyboard (ie. plugged into a laptop) and the
+driver should be able to sort everything out (provided that you refrain from
+typing on both keyboards simultaneously).
+
+.SH FUNCTION KEYS
+
+There's no reliable way to distinguish the function keys on the musical
+side from those on the QWERTY side in order to map them to channel,
+program change and so on. One solution is to interpret any function key
+(including arrows and return) pressed within two seconds of the 'quaver'
+key (F9) as a MIDI event. 
+
+.TP
+.B Program Change
+The first four keys (I-IV) function as patch pages, each page able to
+address 32 patches. To change to program number 2 (GM Bright Acoustic
+Piano), first press QUAVER, then function key I, then press the second
+piano key from the left (the first black key).
+
+.TP
+.B Bank Change
+Keys V-VIII work similarly to program change, but alter current bank
+instead. Note that you won't see any effect until you change patches as
+well.
+
+.TP
+.B Channel Change and Octave Change
+The arrow keys are used to change channel or octave. To lower or raise
+the octave (from that of middle C) the octave, press QUAVER followed by
+the appropriate arrow key. QUAVER may be ommitted between subsequent
+arrow presses, if they occur within 2 seconds of each other. To change
+the channel, press QUAVER followed by 'R' (return), then an arrow key.
+
+All of these heuristics are timing critical and might fail to operate under
+heavy system loads. To ensure proper performance, use a high realtime
+priority, like 99 (and it wouldn't hurt to do the same for your keyboard
+controller's IRQ).
+
+.SH KNOWN ISSUES
+
+.TP
+.B Events
+For some reason the kernel event layer drops KEY events, mostly when
+switching between a piano key and its associated text key. I believe this
+is a due to a bug in the repeat state tracking code, exposed here because
+the keyboard generates only 'make' scancodes on the musical side.  The
+driver works around this by tracking the MSC_SCAN events instead, but it's
+kind of a hack and requires massaging the events more than I'm comfortable
+with (might not work with PS2->USB adaptors, etc.)
+
+.TP
+.B Repeat Rate
+To prevent frustrating "stuck" repeats in X (the console doesn't appear to
+suffer from this problem) the driver converts all REPEAT events it passes
+to PRESSes.
+
+.TP
+.B LEDs
+The LEDs don't work. This little driver is the only example of a real
+uinput filter I've seen.  I'm not sure the kernel developers anticipated
+the problem of managing the LEDs. Ideally it would be transparent. As it
+is, it would probably take a large amount of code to get the keyboard LEDs
+working again--which seems silly.

+.SH NAME
+
+lsmi-mouse \- Linux Pseudo MIDI Input -- Mouse
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lsmi-mouse
+.RI [ options ] " files" ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+This driver is capable of generating a stream of MIDI controller and/or note
+events from the state of mouse buttons. I have a MouseSystems serial mouse
+controller board with footswitches wired to each of its three buttons. You
+must have evdev and the kernel driver for your mouse type loaded (in my
+case, this is sermouse). Mouse axes, wheels, or additional buttons are not
+used (if you can think of something to do with them [rotary encoders for
+filter and resonance?], then, by all means, let me know).
+
+I use this device to control Freewheeling and various softsynths. Much
+cheaper than a real MIDI pedalboard, of this I assure you.
+
+.SH EXAMPLE
+
+Use mouse device "/dev/input/event4", mapping left button
+to Controller #64, middle button to Note #36, and
+right button to Note #37 (all on Channel #1):

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

+lsmi: lsmi (map keyboard/mouse/joystick input to ALSA MIDI sequencer events)
+lsmi:
+lsmi: These simple user-space drivers support using certain homemade,
+lsmi: repurposed, or commercial devices as MIDI controllers on Linux, even
+lsmi: though the devices themselves are not capable of generating MIDI
+lsmi: messages; this does not include things like MIDI-over-serial or PIC
+lsmi: based projects, which are true MIDI devices.
+lsmi:
+lsmi: Reasons for using this software include: achieving MIDI entry on
+lsmi: machines without MIDI ports, reusing old hardware, pure frugality,
+lsmi: and fun.
