C++ MIDI Library - libjdkmidi

Overview

This library was originally a collection of utility functions for MIDI written in C back in 1986 for the Atari ST computer. Since then it has evolved into a fairly powerful C++ MIDI Library including:

  • MIDI parsing
  • MIDI Show Control message creation and handling
  • Standard MIDI File type 0 and type 1 reading and writing
  • Timestamped MIDI message and System Exclusive encapsulation
  • Efficient MIDI Track objects for sequencing
  • MIDI Track objects for editing MIDI events
  • MIDI message process chains
  • Containers for multiple MIDI Tracks with iterators
  • MIDI Sequencer core for sequencing and triggering GUI events
  • MIDI Driver abstractions for I/O and sequencing
  • MIDI Driver implementation for Win32 for I/O and sequencing
  • Tempo calculations
  • MIDI Matrix to count note on's and off's and hold pedals to avoid stuck notes and all-notes-off problems when merging midi streams
  • SMPTE management and calculations
