MIDI at pjb.com.au

• New !   Use audio2midi to frequency-analyse audio files and turn them into MIDI
• Use bassline to generate a random jazz-bassline, for improvisation practice
• Use fluadity as a low-latency synth or fast MIDI-to-WAV converter
• Use fluidsynth to access the fluidsynth library from within Lua
• New !   Use gtrtab to generate blank ascii-tab guitar tablature, and gtrtab2midi to convert it into MIDI
• Use MIDI.py to handle structures like MIDI-Perl's "opus" and "score", with Python3
• Use MIDI.lua to handle structures like MIDI-Perl's "opus" and "score", with Lua
• Use midialsa.lua or MIDI::ALSA to access the ALSA library directly from Lua or Perl
• Use midichord to generate chord-notes to conform to a solo-voice, or vice-versa
• Use midiclick as a simple ALSA-client MIDI metronome
• Use mididump to dump a MIDI file contents in a human-readable text-format
• Use midiecho to add echo to a channel by issuing repeated notes with diminishing volume;
  works on real-time MIDI (using MIDI::ALSA) as well as on MIDI-files (using MIDI-Perl)
• Use midiedit to edit a MIDI file; a Curses app, with MIDI::ALSA sound. See this OSDC talk
• Use midifade to provide faders generating midi-controller events
• Use midikbd on ALSA systems as a simple monophonic ascii-midi-keyboard
• Use midiloop creates a MIDI::ALSA client which records and replays sets of loops
• New !   Use midimarkov to generate midi with a Markov-Chain algorithm
• Use midi2muscript to convert a midi file into muscript text input syntax
• Use MIDI::SoundFont to manipulate .sf2 SoundFont and .pat and .zip Gravis files
• Use midisox to process MIDI files, call-compatible with SoX. Now in three versions:
  • In Python3, requires also MIDI.py and TermClui.py
  • In Perl, requires also MIDI-Perl and Term::Clui
  • In Lua, requires also MIDI.lua and the luaposix module
• Use midithru as a straight-through ALSA-client with a helpful display
• Use miditurtle to manipulate MIDI-data, like with turtle-graphics
• Use midi2wavs to generate a separate .wav file for each midi channel
• Use muscript to generate a MIDI file from a musical score in human-readable text-format
• Use musicxml2mid to convert MusicXML to MIDI. It requires XML::Parser
• Use pjbsynth, a software synth written in csound, for its cool low-tech patches
