[sdiy] MIDI parser

[Dave Magnuson]

My reason for trying it myself is the sheer number of “MIDI.H” libraries out there – and of course not all of them are compatible with each other ;)

 

But point taken – maybe I will reconsider the stock Arduino library if self-coding seems like a nightmare 

 

Thanks Paula!

Dave,

MIDI is a complete nightmare to work with. You'll end up with a complex state machine, it's really not worth writing your own handler, the Arduino one is (from what I've seen) very well written.

Hi All,

 

I’m just beginning to experiment with an Atmega-based Arduino Mega 2560, programming it through the Arduino IDE.

 

I’ve done all of my various “Hello World” examples, played around with encoders and lcds, etc .   Now I  want to delve into MIDI.  I was wondering if anyone has any C-based MIDI parsers or other examples they would be willing to share?

 

I’d rather avoid using the standard MIDI.H library so I can learn how to manipulate the data myself.   

 

I’ll probably begin with a MIDI monitor / filter or something simple, then probably a MIDI to drum trigger / clock module

 

Any links or references would be greatly appreciated
