Hello to everyone!

I'm in a progressive instrumental band and we just have played our first show with QLC+. Currently we have this setup:

Windows 10 laptop that runs QLC+ that controls 3 moving heads, generic USB to DMX interface, LoopBe1 (internal midi port) that send MIDI from Ableton Live 10, and a Novation Launchkey. In Ableton I have scenes that contain midi files that triggers functions mapped in QLC+. This midi scenes are triggered from the Novation Launchkey pad buttons. Ableton also sends MIDI Clock maped to tap tempo in QLC+.

I am thinking of a solution to be more friendly to carry on. Raspberri pi with QLC+ can handle the USB to DMX interface and the controller (in the future it will be a MIDI foot controller posibly custom built with and Arduino). I think I can copy my workspace and fixtures from my pc to the Raspberri, and I can export the midi files generated for each song. I'm missing a way to play MIDI files in Raspberri to control QLC+ and the internal midi port.

Do you think this is an easy aproach with the image that contains Rpi+QLC? And if so, can you point me in a direction how to trigger midi files with the controller in Rpi in a way that QLC+ can be controlled with them?

Thanks in advance.
