Success with Raspberry Pi 5

hi docdecibel,

sorry for the slow reply, my life is a bit chaos right now.

i didn't take super super detailed notes when i installed it, although i did write this:

----
some errors in dependenfcies.. the sequencer one i think was called pymidi or something, i installed it by hand (using i think pip install git+ giturl) then watch for errors, it was missing a dependency)
----

i think this was the biggest roadblock, like i said above, it's not good enough to do pip install pymidi (or whatever is the one not installing properly), try different methods to install and keep a keen eye out for errors when it installs (other dependencies needed?)

if you have specific problems please post them here and it would jog my memory more.  i'm attaching here a requirements.txt of "my" project (the successful rpi5 install of samplerbox), maybe have a look through that and it might help as well, maybe worst case if you systematically install those packages it will work?  my intuition is that you should try the "pymidi" idea above first though.

like i said, post here any problems, i'll take a look if i can help
