Thanks Tom for realizing my very stupid mistake! I've made some changes and
I have got almost everything working how I wanted it to.

However, I have one issue and this problem happens only when I am running
Fluidsynth on my Raspberry Pi 3. When I am jamming away on a lot of keys at
one time on the keyboard it seems to sometimes miss midi noteon or noteoff
events. I know this because when running Fluidsynth (compiled from the
original git source code) if I set the midi channel to an organ and I press
a lot of keys and I pull away my hands one or two notes will still be
sustaining. It also happens that some notes don't turn on sometimes.

I verified this by adding an error printout to my program to detect noteoff
events for notes that are already off and noteon events for notes that are
already on. Sure enough I get  one of these error printouts when I hear an
issue.

I checked with top and the PI has plenty of memory and cpu power available
when running fluidsynth. The only warning fluidsynth prints out is this:

fluidsynth: warning: Requested a period size of 64, got 256 instead


I don't think this would be related to not receiving midi events right??

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help,
-Chris
