You can still invoke the bridge on the command line, but there will be
no output to the console and it no longer responds to keypress
input. Enter Ctrl-C (SIGINT) to exit.

If I can figure out how to do this from FUSE I can code it.

I'm using USBPcap and tshark to snoop communication and plan to
implement all features accessible from the Fender FUSE application.
However, some targets listed in the MIDI spec (e.g. amplifier on/off,
tuner mode) are not controllable from FUSE and it may take some time
and luck to figure out the protocol.

Would appreciate feedback on requirements for other distributions.
# OS Configuration
+ Add the id of the user who will be running the bridge to the
'audio' and 'plugdev' groups. That user should then log out and back
in to make the groups effective.
+ As root, copy the file '50-mustang.rules' to /etc/udev/rules.d and
refresh the system with 'udevadm control --reload'.
There may be slight differences in requirements for other distributions.

1. Update ```60-midi.rules``` with the USB VID (vendor id) and PID
(product id) of your controller.
2. Edit ```mustang_bridge_start``` to set values marked as user
edits. In addition to setting the VID and PID, you need to specify
the index of the MIDI interface (see note below) and the MIDI channel
you want the bridge to listen on.
NOTE: I'm not sure about other platforms, but on Linux the MIDI
port number is equivalent to the ALSA card index. I had originally
treated port as 1..n, but since ALSA (and JACK? Not sure..) starts at
0, this has now been changed. You can find the card index for your
controller by connecting it to the computer and examining the
pseudo-file, e.g.:
```
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [PCH ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH

To accept MIDI messages from devices behind the M-Audio interface you
would now specify '1' as the MIDI port value.
NOTE2: RPi and BBG are a bit fussy about enumeration of new USB
devices. If you are not getting proper communication, quit the program
and try replugging both the Fender amp and MIDI controller **after**
those devices are powered up.

NOTE3: I've had success using a passive USB hub with the single USB on
the BBG, but YMMV since most USB<->5Pin MIDI converters draw some
degree of bus power. A powered hub might be necessary in some
situations.
Run the ```install.sh``` script as root
# Run
If you have configured everything correctly, the bridge should start
automatically when both the controller and the Mustang amp are
connected via USB. If either or both are disconnected or shut off,
the bridge will be killed automatically.
