Hello everyone,

after searching around the forums and the net I decided to post this question here.. I'm using PD as the audio engine for a mobile game (using libpd, and therefore "only" Vanilla objects).

This is very exciting, and I'm exploring all the possibilities for composition and realtime sound generation. One big thing I wanted to include is the possibility of reading midi files inside the patch, and pipe the data to envelopes and oscillators accordingly. Extended apparently has the "seq" object, but how about Vanilla? Is there a way to "import" a .mid file into a patch?

Thank you all for helping a greenhorn out

Filippo

anyone?

I would also like to know if this is possible.

Anyone??

actually there is a solution within the rjlib. Well you won't be able to read midi files per say but you can use [c_seqplay] to read txt files created from midi one's.

check out the help patch it explains everything

Thanks for your reply! I've tried out the rjlib object, but more complex midi files seem to scramble up the output. Might have to force my programmer to build in the [seq] object after all, or get cracking with writing my own midi parser!

Cheers,

Filippo
