Am thinking I could send either a text file of note value combinations to my app in order to "play" music.

see there is a midiparse object but not clear how to send it a file, .mid or otherwise.

An example patch of say opening a file and sending its contents to a synth, ex. 1.ploy.synth, or even just makenote would be great.

Thanks, in advance.

Peace, love and music flowing thru us all,
Scott

followup/clarification:

I see that the 1.poly.synth generates random notes to send to the synth.

So I thought I would be able to find online a repo of text files, with only notes, written out as pitch/velocity/duration combinations.

But at first glance, I have not been able to find such a thing.

Is it available? Do-able in some other fashion (linux) by outputting midi files to a stream or some such?

Thanks. Would like to be able specifically to have my program "read" Ode to Joy in this fashion and then while it plays I manipulate its sound by adjusting the parameters on my patch.

Thanks. Hope that helps make it clearer.

@svanya It is done here....... http://jmmmp.github.io/clicktracker/ ...... sort of. Not for your purpose, but containing elements of what you might want to achieve. The author talks of a score repository, but probably only of click-tracks. It might be worth digging through the patch to see what could be useful?

@svanya, are you open to using externals or does it have to be vanilla? [cyclone/seq] supports playing and recording midi files.
