132

133
+ <p>midilib is a pure Ruby <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> library useful for reading and writing standard <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> files and manipulating <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> event data.</p>
134
+
135
+ <p>The GitHub project page and Web site of midilib is <a href="http://github.com/jimm/midilib">github.com/jimm/midilib</a> and the RubyGems.org page is <a href="http://rubygems.org/gems/midilib">rubygems.org/gems/midilib</a>, where you can also find all the RDoc documentation.</p>
136
+
137
+ <p>midilib is compatible with Ruby 2.6 and higher.</p>
138
+
139
+ <h2 id="label-Dependencies">Dependencies<span><a href="#label-Dependencies">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h2>
140
+
141
+ <p>midilib does not require any other packages. The test suite in the tests directory requires the testing framework TestUnit, which comes with Ruby 1.8 and later and can also be found in the Ruby Application Archive (<a href="http://raa.ruby-lang.org">raa.ruby-lang.org</a>).</p>
142
+
143
+ <p>To rebuild the gem or RDocs or run the tests easily, you can use the Rakefile which requires Rake (<a href="http://rake.rubyforge.org">rake.rubyforge.org</a>).</p>

179
+ <p>midilib can read and write <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> file formats 0 (one single track) or 1 multiple tracks. By default, it writes format 1 which is the most common format. <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> file format 2 is not yet supported.</p>
180
+
181
+ <h3 id="label-MIDI-3A-3ASequence"><a href="MIDI/Sequence.html"><code>MIDI::Sequence</code></a><span><a href="#label-MIDI-3A-3ASequence">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h3>
182
+
183
+ <p>A sequence contains a collection of tracks and global information like the sequence’s pulses per quarter note (ppqn) and time signature.</p>
184
+
185
+ <p>The first track in a sequence is special; it holds meta-events like tempo and sequence name. Don’t put any notes in this track.</p>
186
+
187
+ <p><a href="MIDI/Sequence.html"><code>MIDI::Sequence</code></a> also contains some convenience methods that let you set and retrieve the sequence’s name, the time signature, and to retrieve the first tempo event’s beats-per-minute value.</p>
188
+
189
+ <p>Normally instances of <a href="MIDI/IO/SeqReader.html"><code>MIDI::IO::SeqReader</code></a> and <a href="MIDI/IO/SeqWriter.html"><code>MIDI::IO::SeqWriter</code></a> are used when a sequence reads itself from or writes itself to a <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> file. You can change that by setting a sequence’s reader_class or writer_class attributes. Instances of the classes contained in those attributes are created and used whenever the sequence reads or writes itself.</p>
190
+
191
+ <h3 id="label-MIDI-3A-3ATrack"><a href="MIDI/Track.html"><code>MIDI::Track</code></a><span><a href="#label-MIDI-3A-3ATrack">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h3>
192
+
193
+ <p>A track contains an array of events.</p>
194
+
195
+ <p>When you modify the <code>events</code> array, make sure to call recalc_times so each event gets its <code>time_from_start</code> recalculated. You don’t have to do that after every event you add; just remember to do so before using the track in a way that expects the list of events to be ordered correctly.</p>
196
+
197
+ <p>A Track also holds a bit mask that specifies the channels used by the track. This bit mask is set when the track is read from the <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> file by a SeqReader but is <em>not</em> kept up to date by any other methods. Specifically, if you add events to a track at any other time, the bit mask will not be updated.</p>
198
+
199
+ <h3 id="label-MIDI-3A-3AMeasure"><a href="MIDI/Measure.html"><code>MIDI::Measure</code></a><span><a href="#label-MIDI-3A-3AMeasure">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h3>
200
+
201
+ <p>This class contains information about a measure from the sequence. Measure data is based on the time signature information from the sequence and is not stored in the sequence itself.</p>
202
+
203
+ <h3 id="label-MIDI-3A-3AMeasures"><a href="MIDI/Measures.html"><code>MIDI::Measures</code></a><span><a href="#label-MIDI-3A-3AMeasures">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h3>
204
+
205
+ <p>The class <a href="MIDI/Sequence.html"><code>MIDI::Sequence</code></a> method get_measures returns a <a href="MIDI/Measures.html"><code>MIDI::Measures</code></a> object. <a href="MIDI/Measures.html"><code>MIDI::Measures</code></a> is a subclass of Array. It is a specialized container for <a href="MIDI/Measure.html"><code>MIDI::Measure</code></a> objects, which can be use to map event times to measure numbers. Please note that this object has to be remade when events are deleted/added in the sequence.</p>
206
+
207
+ <p><a href="MIDI/Measure.html"><code>MIDI::Measure</code></a> and <a href="MIDI/Measures.html"><code>MIDI::Measures</code></a> are brought to us by Jari Williamsson &lt;jari.williamsson@mailbox.swipnet.se&gt;, who also contributed some improvements to the <a href="MIDI/Event.html"><code>MIDI::Event</code></a> and <a href="MIDI/Track.html"><code>MIDI::Track</code></a> classes.</p>
208
+
209
+ <h3 id="label-MIDI-3A-3AEvent"><a href="MIDI/Event.html"><code>MIDI::Event</code></a><span><a href="#label-MIDI-3A-3AEvent">&para;</a> <a href="#top">&uarr;</a></span></h3>
210
+
211
+ <p>Each event holds not only its delta time but also its time from the start of the track. The track is responsible for recalculating its events’ start times. You can call <a href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-recalc_times"><code>MIDI::Track#recalc_times</code></a> to do so.</p>
212
+
213
+ <p>Subclasses of <a href="MIDI/Event.html"><code>MIDI::Event</code></a> implement the various <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> messages such as note on and off, controller values, system exclusive data, and realtime bytes.</p>
214
+
215
+ <p><a href="MIDI/Realtime.html"><code>MIDI::Realtime</code></a> events have delta values and start times, just like all the other midilib event types do. (<a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> real time status bytes don’t have delta times, but this way we can record when in a track the realtime byte was received and should be sent. This is useful for start/continue/stop events that control other devices, for example.) Note that when a <a href="MIDI/Realtime.html"><code>MIDI::Realtime</code></a> event is written out to a <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> file, the delta time is not written.</p>
216
+
217
+ <p><a href="MIDI/MetaEvent.html"><code>MIDI::MetaEvent</code></a> events hold an array of bytes named ‘data’. Many meta events are string holders (text, lyric, marker, etc.) Though the ‘data’ value is always an array of bytes, <a href="MIDI/MetaEvent.html"><code>MIDI::MetaEvent</code></a> helps with saving and accessing string. The <a href="MIDI/MetaEvent.html#method-i-data_as_str"><code>MIDI::MetaEvent#data_as_str</code></a> method returns the data bytes as a string. When assigning to a meta event’s data, if you pass in a string it will get converted to an array of bytes.</p>

226

227
+ <p>The read method takes an optional block. If present, the block is called once after each track has finished being read. Each time, it is passed the track object, the total number of tracks and the number of the current track that has just been read. This is useful for notifying the user of progress, for example by updating a GUI progress bar.</p>

306
+ <p>A few methods in <a href="MIDI/Sequence.html"><code>MIDI::Sequence</code></a> make it easier to calculate the delta times that represent note lengths. <a href="MIDI/Sequence.html#method-i-length_to_delta"><code>MIDI::Sequence#length_to_delta</code></a> takes a note length (a multiple of a quarter note) and returns the delta time given the sequence’s current ppqn (pulses per quarter note) setting. 1 is a quarter note, 1.0/32.0 is a 32nd note (use floating-point numbers to avoid integer rounding), 1.5 is a dotted quarter, etc. See the documentation for that method for more information.</p>
307
+
308
+ <p><a href="MIDI/Sequence.html#method-i-note_to_length"><code>MIDI::Sequence#note_to_length</code></a> takes a note name and returns a length value (again, as a multiple of a quarter note). Legal note names are those found in MIDI::Sequence::NOTE_TO_LENGTH, and may begin with “dotted” and/or end with “triplet”. For example, “whole”, “sixteenth”, “32nd”, “quarter triplet”, “dotted 16th”, and “dotted 8th triplet” are all legal note names.</p>
309
+
310
+ <p>Finally, <a href="MIDI/Sequence.html#method-i-note_to_delta"><code>MIDI::Sequence#note_to_delta</code></a> takes a note name and returns a delta time. It does this by calling note_to_length, then passing the result to length_to_delta.</p>

318
+ <p>examples/seq2text.rb dumps a <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> file as text. It reads in a sequence and uses the to_s method of each event.</p>

320
+ <p>examples/reader2text.rb dumps a <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> file as text. It subclasses MIDI::SeqReader instead of creating a sequence containing tracks and events.</p>
321

322
+ <p>examples/transpose.rb transposes all note events (note on, note off, poly pressure) on a specified channel by a specified amount.</p>
323
+ </li><li>
324
+ <p>There is also one <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> file, examples/NoFences.mid. It is a little pop ditty I wrote. The instruments in this file use General <a href="MIDI.html"><code>MIDI</code></a> patch numbers and drum note assignments. Since I don’t normally use GM patches, the sounds used here are at best approximations of the sounds I use.</p>

341
+ <p>midilib does not handle tempo changes when calculating <code>beats_per_minute</code>. The tempo events are correctly handled when reading/writing/moving them around, it’s just the functions that answer questions about the current tempo that are wrong. See <a href="https://github.com/jimm/midilib/issues/8">github.com/jimm/midilib/issues/8</a>. The method <code>beats_per_minute</code> and related methods like <code>pulses_to_seconds</code> will have to take into account the possibility of more than one tempo event. They will probably have to take new arguments specifying where in the sequence the beats or pulses are being requested. For example we could have +beats_per_minute(at_seconds: 0.0, at_beat: 0.0)+ (where the two keyword args are mutually exclusive). Perhaps there should be separately named public methods like <code>beats_per_minute_at_seconds</code> and <code>beats_per_minute_at_beat</code> as well.</p>

482

483
+ <p>Fixed bugs in <a href="MIDI/PitchBend.html"><code>MIDI::PitchBend</code></a> reading and writing, thanks to Emanuel Borsboom.</p>
484
+ </li><li>
485
+ <p>Fixed a bug in <a href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-quantize"><code>MIDI::Track#quantize</code></a>.</p>
486
+ </li><li>
487
+ <p>The argument to <a href="MIDI/Track.html#method-i-quantize"><code>MIDI::Track#quantize</code></a> has changed: it is now either a note name (“sixteenth”, “32nd”, “8th triplet”) or a length (1 = quarter, 0.25 = sixteenth). This is a drastic change that will break all previous calls to quantize. However, since that method was broken already, I don’t feel it’s a burden to anybody to change the arguments.</p>

See the docs below and MIDI::Sequence::length_to_delta, MIDI::Sequence::note_to_length, and MIDI::Sequence::note_to_delta.</p>
