Hi,

I would try to use midi file inside puredata, i try to read it with [seq] and [midifile] and work well.

There's a way to visualize the midi file pattern with note, velocity and step...
....is possibile to edit the midifile inside pure data ?

I think maybe using an array and translete it on gui object...

I would like to made a little midi file editor/sequencer, if it's possibile.

Thanks

Gema, your question is so generic, you will struggle to get any solid answers. You see, there are many different types of midi editors... piano roll, drum machine, list, e.t.c.

I would strongly advise against making a midifile editor sequencer if you're not already familiar with pd. Why reinvent the wheel?

OK, yes is generic.

Is possible load a midifile in a table ? with tabwrite or similar ?

Thanks

it depends on how you wish to reprasent that data.

a table is simply a visualisation of a list of numbers. index (position in the array/table) on the x axis and value on the y axis.

you can only input one value per index.

so you could use a table to visualise the pitch (y) of a monophonic instrument over time (x) but you can't represent velocity or anything else... unless you put that into another corresponding table.

then you could use something like [gem] to harvest the data from the two tables and draw lines on a graph whose x and y axis' follow time and pitch, and whose colour is determined by velocity. Afterwards, you could use [gem] to access as many tables as simultaneous notes and project them all to the same graph. (at this point you need to think about a better way of storing all of this information, or how [gem] is going to parse the midi file directly). And then you could work on using the mouse input to click on 'notes' in your [gem] window and move them around.

But after a lot of work, you will have made a crude and slow midi editor. congratulations.
