hi Christian,

the released xeq version is obsolete, but appears to work, both with Pd.36, and Pd.37.

Sending 'mfread <fname>' to a [xeq] loads a midi file. If you do not know (or do not want to know) track names in the file beforehand, map those names using a track template argument, e.g. 'mfread <fname> -track'. After loading, Send 'edit' to the [xeq] and see its contents.

For playback, use either 1) multiple [xeq_parse] objects, each with its own track template ([loadbang]->'tracks 1-track', etc.) or 2) a [midiparse] driven by the middle outlet of the [xeq], and multiple [receive]s to control track-based dispatching.

Hi, I just began using pd. I want to read midi files and get the informations out there (track, instrument, velocity, ...). Could anybody give me some help how to get this working? I want to use the midi information to make visuals.
