Play MIDI file and get music notes
Dec 22nd, 2005, 12:26pm  
Hi,
I am working on one project where I have to play a MIDI file in processing and get the music notes that are played. I looked the proMidi library but I didnot found how to load the Midi file. So if anyone knows or had already been working on the same project I would be grateful to give me some advice.

Tnx.

Hi,

I haven't used the lib so far, but the site says:
"Mididata can be received and send by installed Midi-Ports."
So i guess it can't load files directly.

Do you have any idea how can I load a midi file and use proMidi library?
How can I install MIDI ports ?
Tnx.

In the moment I am working on the new promidi version that includes a sequencer I need more time for testing and documentation. I also started on MIDI File handling but I don't know when this all will be finnished.

In the moment you could use any software sequencer to play the  midifile and midi yoke to route mididata into processing via promidi.

Have you considered trying load and read xml music data such with MusicXML  It's something I'm looking into: http://xml.coverpages.org/xmlMusic.html

a student at my university used a tool midiToText to convert midifiles to textfiles. this textfile can be load into processing.
another possibility is to use jm-etude-lib. with Code:
createScore(yourdesiredname, "C:/midis/mytrack.mid")
you can load midis directly into processing.

oops .. this topic is .. old.

Hi,

If the midiToText tool comes from here http://jmusic.ci.qut.edu.au/applications.html then it is based on jMusic which is also the base of jm-Etude. After creating a score from a midi file you can use the methods getPartPhrases(), getPhraseNotes() to get the music notes of the midi file.
