I have a wrapper for it, [c_midiplay], in my rc-patches which handles the detaisl for playback and forwards all event to [notein], [ctlin], etc for you. Also, rjlib has [c_seqplay] which uses [midifile] to convert the delta timed data into a qlist.

Subject: [PD] playing .mid files in puredata

Hi,

im facing a problem i never encountered. i suspect it might be very
trivial, however i have no clue. I have midi notes from a track exported
in a .mid file:

$ file beat_midi.mid
beat midi.mid: Standard MIDI data (format 0) using 1 track at 1/96

i would like to play the file and get the midi note values into pd
somehow. what would be the best way ?

sorry for this, i guess, ultimately (?) trivial question.

best,

gnd/
