I've been trying to wrap my head around a PD solution for converting a midi file type 0 file to a text file in the following format.

FROM

TO:

For each note on, I'll need the pitch number followed by a semi-colon.

For multiple note ons, (polyphony) the pitch numbers should be grouped on the same line.

I don't need velocity, ticks, channel numbers or timing data, just note-ons. The application to drive a sequence of notes via drum triggers.

I've tried Mr. Peach's MIDI file read patch and the major issue i'm experiencing is how to parse the data into a simple stripped down readable text format.

I'd prefer not to go to 3rd party solutions. (On a Mac)

Would be great to hear your thoughts, feedback, solutions.

Sincerely,

Simon

@simorr This uses [cyclone/seq] and [cyclone/midiparse] and should do what you want to achieve: readmidi.pd

Thanks @ingox!
