# Control PulseAudio with a MIDI controller

This project lets you use the Behringer X-Touch Mini to control your audio.

It integrates with PulseAudio and maps every audio channel to an encoder on the Behringer X-Touch Mini.

## Features

* The volume of every audio channel (input or output) in PulseAudio is controllable with an encoder on the Behringer X-Touch Mini.

* All audio channels can be muted using the buttons below the encoders.

* The LED ring around the encoders will show the volume level.

* Audio in your browser or in a program like Spotify can be played, paused, stopped.

* When media is playing or paused, the play button is lit or blinking.

* The first encoder is always the main volume, the last is always the active microphone.

## Dependencies

* Ubuntu or other Linux distro that uses PulseAudio

* Package `playerctl` to be able to control the media (`sudo apt install playerctl`)

* Package `libasound2-dev` and `python` for the MIDI library (`sudo apt install libasound2-dev python`)

* Node 16+

* NPM 7+

## How to use

Checkout this repository, connect your Behringer X-Touch Mini (in standard mode), and run the following commands;
