From the project

Brings 2 Midi host devices to the table of data sharing. Intermediary device to allow Midi host to Midi host communication.

Here's a brief demo video with Ableton Live, an Organelle, and Norns/Fates.

Prost! requires 2 dependencies to build and upload.

- Install PlatformIO this is required to build and flash the Arduinos. You can either install the CLI or the IDE. - USBMIDI is required for transmitting Midi data over USB, fortunately PlatformIO makes dependency bundling easy.

Before building and flashing be sure to install dependencies.
