mt32-pi Project Halted Due to Online Abuse
2025-02-05
The mt32-pi project, a baremetal MIDI synthesizer for the Raspberry Pi, has been discontinued due to sustained online harassment of its developer. The developer cited a campaign of abuse, including personal attacks, code theft, and stolen 3D print designs, as reasons for abandoning the project. Despite community support, the negative experiences significantly impacted the developer's mental health. mt32-pi supported various Raspberry Pi models and offered features such as I²S Hi-Fi DAC support and network MIDI.
