<p>
|
|
158
|
+
midilib is a pure Ruby <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> library useful for
|
|
159
|
+
reading and writing standard <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> files and
|
|
160
|
+
manipulating <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> event data. Classes include <a
|
|
161
|
+
href="MIDI/Sequence.html">MIDI::Sequence</a>, <a
|
|
162
|
+
href="MIDI/Track.html">MIDI::Track</a>, <a
|
|
163
|
+
href="MIDI/Event.html">MIDI::Event</a>, and <a
|
|
164
|
+
href="MIDI/IO/MIDIFile.html">MIDI::IO::MIDIFile</a> and its subclasses <a
|
|
165
|
+
href="MIDI/IO/SeqReader.html">MIDI::IO::SeqReader</a> and <a
|
|
166
|
+
href="MIDI/IO/SeqWriter.html">MIDI::IO::SeqWriter</a>.
|
|
167
|
+
</p>
|
|
168
|
+
<p>
|
|

|
+
The GitHub project page and Web site of midilib is <a
|
|
170
|
+
href="http://github.com/jimm/midilib">github.com/jimm/midilib</a> and the
|
|
171
|
+
RubyGems.org page is <a
|
|
172
|
+
href="http://rubygems.org/gems/midilib">rubygems.org/gems/midilib</a>,
|
|
173
|
+
where you can also find all the RDoc documentation.
|
|
174
|
+
</p>
|
|
175
|
+
<p>
|
|
176
|
+
midilib is compatible with both Ruby 1.8.x and 1.9.x.
|
|
177

+
</p>
|
|
178
|
+
<h2>Dependencies</h2>
|
|
179
|
+
<p>
|
|
180
|
+
midilib does not require any other packages. The test suite in the tests
|
|
181
|
+
directory requires the testing framework TestUnit, which comes with Ruby
|
|
182
|
+
1.8 and later and can also be found in the Ruby Application Archive (<a
|
|
183
|
+
href="http://raa.ruby-lang.org">raa.ruby-lang.org</a>).
|
|
184
|
+
</p>
|
|
185
|
+
<p>
|
|
186
|
+
To rebuild the gem or RDocs or run the tests easily, you can use the
|
|
187
|
+
Rakefile which requires Rake (<a
|
|
188
|
+
href="http://rake.rubyforge.org">rake.rubyforge.org</a>).

<a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file <a href="IO.html">IO</a> only understands
|
|
235
|
+
<a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file format 1, where a sequence is made up of
|
|
236
|
+
multiple tracks. It doesn’t yet understand format 0 (a single track
|
|
237
|
+
containing all events) or format 2 (a collection of format 0 files in one
|
|
238
|

file).

<h3><a href="MIDI/Sequence.html">MIDI::Sequence</a></h3>
|
|
241
|
+
<p>
|
|
242
|
+
A sequence contains a collection of tracks and global information like the
|
|
243
|
+
sequence’s pulses per quarter note (ppqn) and time signature.
|
|
244
|
+
</p>
|
|
245
|
+
<p>
|
|
246
|
+
The first track in a sequence is special; it holds meta-events like tempo
|
|
247
|
+
and sequence name. Don’t put any notes in this track.
|
|
248
|
+
</p>
|
|
249
|
+
<p>
|
|
250
|
+
<a href="MIDI/Sequence.html">MIDI::Sequence</a> also contains some
|
|
251
|
+
convenience methods that let you set and retrieve the sequence’s
|
|
252
|
+
name, the time signature, and to retrieve the first tempo event’s
|
|
253
|
+
beats-per-minute value.
|
|
254
|
+
</p>
|
|
255
|
+
<p>
|
|
256
|
+
Normally instances of <a
|
|
257
|
+
href="MIDI/IO/SeqReader.html">MIDI::IO::SeqReader</a> and <a
|
|
258
|
+
href="MIDI/IO/SeqWriter.html">MIDI::IO::SeqWriter</a> are used when a
|
|
259
|
+
sequence reads itself from or writes itself to a <a
|
|
260
|
+
href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file. You can change that by setting a
|
|
261
|
+
sequence’s reader_class or writer_class attributes. Instances of the
|
|
262
|
+
classes contained in those attributes are created and used whenever the
|
|
263
|
+
sequence reads or writes itself.
|
|
264
|
+
</p>
|
|
265
|
+
<h3><a href="MIDI/Track.html">MIDI::Track</a></h3>
|
|
266
|
+
<p>
|
|
267
|
+
A track contains an array of events.
|
|
268
|
+
</p>
|
|
269
|
+
<p>
|
|
270
|
+
When you modify the <tt>events</tt> array, make sure to call recalc_times
|
|
271
|
+
so each event gets its <tt>time_from_start</tt> recalculated. You
|
|
272
|
+
don’t have to do that after every event you add; just remember to do
|
|
273
|
+
so before using the track in a way that expects the list of events to be
|
|
274
|
+
ordered correctly.
|
|
275
|
+
</p>
|
|
276
|
+
<p>
|
|
277
|
+
A Track also holds a bit mask that specifies the channels used by the
|
|
278
|
+
track. This bit mask is set when the track is read from the <a
|
|
279
|
+
href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file by a SeqReader but is <em>not</em> kept up
|
|
280
|
+
to date by any other methods. Specifically, if you add events to a track at
|
|
281
|
+
any other time, the bit mask will not be updated.
|
|
282
|
+
</p>

+
<h3><a href="MIDI/Measure.html">MIDI::Measure</a></h3>
|
|
284
|
+
<p>
|
|
285
|
+
This class contains information about a measure from the sequence. Measure
|
|
286
|
+
data is based on the time signature information from the sequence and is
|
|
287
|
+
not stored in the sequence itself.
|
|
288
|
+
</p>
|
|
289

<h3><a href="MIDI/Measures.html">MIDI::Measures</a></h3>
|
|
290
|
+
<p>
|
|
291
|
+
The class <a href="MIDI/Sequence.html">MIDI::Sequence</a> method
|
|
292
|
+
get_measures returns a <a href="MIDI/Measures.html">MIDI::Measures</a>
|
|
293
|
+
object. <a href="MIDI/Measures.html">MIDI::Measures</a> is a subclass of <a
|
|
294
|
+
href="Array.html">Array</a>. It is a specialized container for <a
|
|
295
|
+
href="MIDI/Measure.html">MIDI::Measure</a> objects, which can be use to map
|
|
296
|
+
event times to measure numbers. Please note that this object has to be
|
|
297
|
+
remade when events are deleted/added in the sequence.

<a href="MIDI/Measure.html">MIDI::Measure</a> and <a
|
|
301
|
+
href="MIDI/Measures.html">MIDI::Measures</a> are brought to us by Jari
|
|
302
|
+
Williamsson <jari.williamsson@mailbox.swipnet.se>, who also contributed
|
|
303
|
+
some improvements to the <a href="MIDI/Event.html">MIDI::Event</a> and <a
|
|
304
|
+
href="MIDI/Track.html">MIDI::Track</a> classes.
|
|
305
|
+
</p>
|

306
|
+
<h3><a href="MIDI/Event.html">MIDI::Event</a></h3>
|
|
307
|
+
<p>
|
|
308
|
+
Each event holds not only its delta time but also its time from the start
|
|
309
|
+
of the track. The track is responsible for recalculating its events’
|
|
310
|
+
start times. You can call <a
|
|
311
|
+
href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-recalc_times">MIDI::Track#recalc_times</a>
|
|
312
|
+
to do so.
|
|
313
|
+
</p>
|
|
314
|
+
<p>
|
|
315
|
+
Events have a number of boolean methods that identify their types, like
|
|
316
|
+
channel?, note?, note_on?, note_off?, meta?, system?, realtime?, and
|
|
317
|
+
program_change?. Events know how to print themselves. By default, all
|
|
318
|
+
numbers are printed as hexidecimal and channel numbers are printed from
|
|
319
|
+
0-15. Setting print_decimal_numbers to true will output decimal numbers and
|
|
320
|
+
setting print_channel_numbers_from_one will output channel numbers from
|
|
321
|
+
1-16.
|
|
322
|
+
</p>
|
|
323
|
+
<p>
|
|
324
|
+
Subclasses of <a href="MIDI/Event.html">MIDI::Event</a> implement the
|
|
325
|
+
various <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> messages such as note on and off,
|
|
326
|
+
controller values, system exclusive data, and realtime bytes.
|
|
327
|
+
</p>
|
|
328
|
+
<p>
|
|
329
|
+
<a href="MIDI/Realtime.html">MIDI::Realtime</a> events have delta values
|
|
330
|
+
and start times, just like all the other midilib event types do. (<a
|
|
331
|
+
href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> real time status bytes don’t have delta
|
|
332
|
+
times, but this way we can record when in a track the realtime byte was
|
|
333
|
+
received and should be sent. This is useful for start/continue/stop events
|
|
334
|
+
that control other devices, for example.) Note that when a <a
|
|
335
|
+
href="MIDI/Realtime.html">MIDI::Realtime</a> event is written out to a <a
|
|
336
|
+
href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file, the delta time is not written.
|
|
337
|
+
</p>
|
|
338
|
+
<p>
|
|
339
|
+
<a href="MIDI/MetaEvent.html">MIDI::MetaEvent</a> events hold an array of
|
|
340
|
+
bytes named ‘data’. Many meta events are string holders (text,
|
|
341
|
+
lyric, marker, etc.) Though the ‘data’ value is always an array
|
|
342
|
+
of bytes, <a href="MIDI/MetaEvent.html">MIDI::MetaEvent</a> helps with
|
|
343
|
+
saving and accessing string. The <a
|
|
344
|
+
href="MIDI/MetaEvent.html#method-i-data_as_str">MIDI::MetaEvent#data_as_str</a>
|
|
345
|
+
method returns the data bytes as a string. When assigning to a meta
|
|
346
|
+
event’s data, if you pass in a string it will get converted to an
|
|
347
|
+
array of bytes.

<h2>How To Use</h2>
|
|
350
|
+
<p>
|
|
351
|
+
The following examples show you how to use midilib to read, write, and
|
|
352
|
+
manipulate <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> files and modify track events. See
|
|
353
|
+
also the files in the examples directory, which are described below.
|
|
354
|
+
</p>
|
|
355
|
+
<h3>Reading a <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> File</h3>
|
|
356
|
+
<p>
|
|
357
|
+
To read a <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file, create a <a
|
|
358
|
+
href="MIDI/Sequence.html">MIDI::Sequence</a> object and call its # method,
|
|
359
|
+
passing in an <a href="IO.html">IO</a> object.
|
|
360
|
+
</p>
|
|
361
|
+
<p>
|
|
362
|
+
The # method takes an optional block. If present, the block is called once
|
|
363
|
+
after each track has finished being read. Each time, it is passed the total
|
|
364
|
+
number of tracks and the number of the current track that has just been
|
|
365
|
+
read. This is useful for notifying the user of progress, for example by
|
|
366
|
+
updating a GUI progress bar.
|
|
367
|
+
</p>
|
|
368
|
+
<pre>
|
|

|
+
# Create a new, empty sequence.
|
|
372

seq = MIDI::Sequence.new()
|
|

seq.read(file) { | num_tracks, i |

# Print something when each track is read.

<h3>Writing a <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> File</h3>
|
|
383
|
+
<p>
|
|
384
|
+
To write a <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file, call the write method,
|
|
385
|
+
passing in an <a href="IO.html">IO</a> object.
|
|
386

388
|

require 'midilib/io/seqwriter'
|
|
389
|
+
|
|
390
|
+
# Start with a sequence that has something worth saving.
|
|
391
|
+
seq = read_or_create_seq_we_care_not_how()
|
|
392
|
+
|
|

<h3>Editing a <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> File</h3>
|
|
397
|
+
<p>
|
|
398
|
+
Combining the last two examples, here is a script that reads a <a
|
|
399
|
+
href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file, transposes some events, and writes the
|
|
400
|
+
sequence out to a different file. This is a useful template for
|
|
401
|
+
programatically manipulating <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> data.
|
|
402
|
+
</p>
|
|
403
|
+
<p>
|
|
404
|
+
This code transposes all of the note events (note on, note off, and poly
|
|
405
|
+
pressure) on channel 5 down one octave. It’s easy to find events that
|
|
406
|
+
need to be transposed: the method # returns true.
|
|
407
|
+
</p>
|
|
408
|
+
<h4>Transposing One Channel</h4>
|
|
409

<h3>Manipulating tracks</h3>
|
|
440
|
+
<p>
|
|
441
|
+
If you modify a track’s list of events directly, don’t forget
|
|
442
|
+
to call <a
|
|
443
|
+
href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-recalc_times">MIDI::Track#recalc_times</a>
|
|
444
|
+
when you are done.
|
|
445
|
+
</p>
|
|
446
|
+
<pre>
|
|
447
|
+
track.events[42, 1] = array_of_events
|
|
448
|
+
track.events << an_event
|
|
449
|
+
track.merge(array_of_events)
|

<h3>Calculating delta times</h3>
|
|
453
|
+
<p>
|
|
454
|
+
A few methods in <a href="MIDI/Sequence.html">MIDI::Sequence</a> make it
|
|
455
|
+
easier to calculate the delta times that represent note lengths. <a
|
|
456
|
+
href="MIDI/Sequence.html#method-i-length_to_delta">MIDI::Sequence#length_to_delta</a>
|
|
457
|
+
takes a note length (a multiple of a quarter note) and returns the delta
|
|
458
|
+
time given the sequence’s current ppqn (pulses per quarter note)
|
|
459
|
+
setting. 1 is a quarter note, 1.0/32.0 is a 32nd note (use floating-point
|
|
460
|
+
numbers to avoid integer rounding), 1.5 is a dotted quarter, etc. See the
|
|
461
|
+
documentation for that method for more information.
|
|
462
|
+
</p>
|
|
463
|
+
<p>
|
|
464
|
+
<a
|
|
465
|
+
href="MIDI/Sequence.html#method-i-note_to_length">MIDI::Sequence#note_to_length</a>
|
|
466
|
+
takes a note name and returns a length value (again, as a multiple of a
|
|
467
|
+
quarter note). Legal note names are those found in
|
|
468
|
+
MIDI::Sequence::NOTE_TO_LENGTH, and may begin with “dotted”
|
|
469
|
+
and/or end with “triplet”. For example, “whole”,
|
|
470
|
+
“sixteenth”, “32nd”, “quarter triplet”,
|
|
471
|
+
“dotted 16th”, and “dotted 8th triplet” are all
|
|
472
|
+
legal note names.
|
|
473
|
+
</p>
|
|
474
|
+
<p>
|
|
475
|
+
Finally, <a
|
|
476
|
+
href="MIDI/Sequence.html#method-i-note_to_delta">MIDI::Sequence#note_to_delta</a>
|
|
477
|
+
takes a note name and returns a delta time. It does this by calling
|
|
478
|
+
note_to_length, then passing the result to length_to_delta.
|
|
479
|
+

examples/seq2text.rb dumps a <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file as text. It
|

494

reads in a sequence and uses the to_s method of each event.

examples/reader2text.rb dumps a <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file as text.

It subclasses MIDI::SeqReader instead of creating a sequence containing

500

tracks and events.

There is also one <a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> file, examples/NoFences.mid.
|
|
510
|
+
It is a little pop ditty I wrote. The instruments in this file use General
|
|
511
|
+
<a href="MIDI.html">MIDI</a> patch numbers and drum note assignments. Since
|
|
512
|
+
I don’t normally use GM patches, the sounds used here are at best
|
|
513
|
+
approximations of the sounds I use.

<h4>Changes for 2.0.0:</h4>
|
|
645
|
+
<p>
|
|
646
|
+
<a href="MIDI/NoteOn.html">MIDI::NoteOnEvent</a> and <a
|
|
647
|
+
href="MIDI/NoteOff.html">MIDI::NoteOffEvent</a> renamed to <a
|
|
648
|
+
href="MIDI/NoteOn.html">MIDI::NoteOn</a> and <a
|
|
649
|
+
href="MIDI/NoteOff.html">MIDI::NoteOff</a>. The old names will still work
|
|
650
|
+
for a while.
|
|
651
|
+
</p>
|
|
652
|
+
<p>
|
|
653
|
+
The <a href="MIDI/Event.html">MIDI::Event</a> boolean methods like meta?
|
|
654
|
+
and note? have been removed. Use the event classes themselves (for example,
|
|
655
|
+
<a href="MIDI/MetaEvent.html">MIDI::MetaEvent</a> === my_event or
|
|
656
|
+
my_event.kind_of?(<a href="MIDI/MetaEvent.html">MIDI::MetaEvent</a>)). Case
|
|
657
|
+
statements that use classes work, too:
|
|
658
|
+
</p>
|
|
659
|
+
<pre>
|
|
660
|
+
case my_event
|
|
661
|
+
when MIDI::NoteOn
|
|
662
|
+
do_this()
|
|
663
|
+
when MIDI::NoteOff
|
|
664
|
+
do_that()
|
|
665
|
+
end
|
|
666
|
+
</pre>
|
|
667
|
+
<p>
|
|
668
|
+
Introduced Adam Murray’s stable sorting code for <a
|
|
669
|
+
href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-recalc_delta_from_times">MIDI::Track#recalc_delta_from_times</a>.

675

</p>
|

676
|

<p>
|
|
677
|

Aliased <a href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-sort">MIDI::Track#sort</a> to <a
|
|
678
|
+
href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-recalc_delta_from_times">MIDI::Track#recalc_delta_from_times</a>,
|
|
679
|
+
since all sort did was sort the events then call recalc_delta_from_times,
|
|
680
|
+
and recalc_delta_from_times sorts the events before doing anything else.
|
|
681
|
+
</p>
|
|
682
|
+
<p>
|
|
683
|
+
MIDI::Tempo#mpq_to_bpm now returns a float.

<h4>Changes for 1.2.0:</h4>
|
|
686
|
+
<p>

688
|
+
pass for both Ruby 1.8.X and 1.9.X.
|
|
689

differently for different Ruby versions, instead of checking for

716

The argument to <a
|
|
772
|
+
href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-quantize">MIDI::Track#quantize</a> has
|
|
773
|
+
changed: it is now either a note name (“sixteenth”,
|
|
774
|
+
“32nd”, “8th triplet”) or a length (1 = quarter,
|
|
775
|
+
0.25 = sixteenth). This is a drastic change that will break all previous
|
|
776
|
+
calls to quantize. However, since that method was broken already, I
|
|
777
|
+
don’t feel it’s a burden to anybody to change the arguments.

New <a href="MIDI/Sequence.html">MIDI::Sequence</a> methods that turn note
|

800
|

length names like “32nd”, “dotted quarter”, and
|
|
801
|
+
“16th triplet” into delta times. See the docs below and
|
|
802
|

MIDI::Sequence::length_to_delta, MIDI::Sequence::note_to_length, and
|
|
803

813

“F#6”.

818
|

@print_note_names. These are used by all Event to_s methods. See
