midi

I want to manually have a function that creates a MIDI file according to users demands, for example. User write 2 patches that contain 8 bars of 4 quarters of A4 (Concert A - 440hz) and C4 (each as a seperated channel) on 120 speed, at velocity 100, instrument piano (01) and patch 49 or whatever. How should the MIDI file look like according to the above. My goal is to learn how to create a function that generates MIDI data, then write everything to a MIDI file. So first I have to understand how to create this function or to understand 'MIDI-file language' so I can write it. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to read in .MID files to a Java program, and would like to separate each note/chord so as to display them on a UI of some sort. I didn't have much luck using the Sequencer API in Java, and trying to use MidiFileReader directly didn't work for me either. I'll attach the code I used here, if anyone wants to see it: package miditest; import java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; import javax.sound.midi.InvalidMidiDataException; import javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem; import javax.sound.midi.MidiUnavailableException; import javax.sound.midi.Sequence; import javax.sound.midi.Sequencer;

I'm creating an app that generates live instrument sounds and I'm planning on using the new Midi API featured in Android Marshmallow (version 6.0). I've read the package overview document here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/midi/package-summary.html and I know how to generate Midi notes but i'm still unsure: how do I actually play these notes after I've generated their Midi data? Do I need a synthesizer program to play Midi notes? If so, do I have to make my own or is one provided by Android or a 3rd party? I am a novice with Midi so please be as descriptive as possible

I want to do build a small app that creates MIDI sounds. I've never dealt with sound in programming so I'd like to start with something that's basic and has good documentation. I want to stick with Python since I'm the most comfortable with it and don't want to overwhelm myself, initially. My time is split about 50/50 between Windows and Ubuntu so something that "just works" on both platforms would be really helpful. Any suggestions? The MIDIUtil Library (hosted here at Google Code) does what you want: write MIDI Files from a pure Python library. Once nice thing about it (and full disclosure:
