I can parse a MIDI file using the midi-parser-js
library
and create a soundtrack
object containing all the tracks and their events:
export class Soundtrack {
name: string;
duration: number;
tracks: Array<Track>;
}
export class Track {
events: Array<MidiEvent>;
}
export class MidiEvent {
data: any;
deltaTime: number;
metaType: number;
type: number;
}
I also have a working synth service to which I'd like to feed these MIDI notes:
synth.triggerAttack(note, null, velocity);
synth.triggerRelease(note);
How to filter the MIDI events that are notes ?
How to get the actual note and its velocity from such a MIDI event ?
This is how the notes are read from the file:
....
MIDI.track[t-1].event[e-1].type = parseInt(statusByte[0], 16);// first byte is EVENT TYPE ID
MIDI.track[t-1].event[e-1].channel = parseInt(statusByte[1], 16);// second byte is channel
...
switch(MIDI.track[t-1].event[e-1].type){
...
case 0x8: // Note off
case 0x9: // Note On
MIDI.track[t-1].event[e-1].data = [];
MIDI.track[t-1].event[e-1].data[0] = file.readInt(1);
MIDI.track[t-1].event[e-1].data[1] = file.readInt(1);
First data
byte is the note number, second byte is the velocity.
