midi-parser

This repository contains a simple midi parser which is free software. It should be able to parse most .midi files out there. Since the parser returns a stream of events (see the midi dump example), it works without any runtime allocation.

The parser has no dependencies, and supports most platforms due to its simple code and no use of file I/O.

Use in your project

You can build midi-parser via cmake . && make.

Alternatively, to build midi-parser as part of your program, add src/midi-parser.c to your project's object files, and the include/ folder to your include path. (For Visual Studio, you'll find the required fields in your project settings.)

Example using gcc, assuming this repository is at path-to-midi-parser:

$ gcc -o myprogram my_own_code.c path-to-midi-parser/src/midi-parser.c -Ipath-to-midi-parser/include

Demo

Running cmake . && make will also build the example/mini-dump.c demo as midi-dump executable.

You can then use ./midi-dump mymidifile.mid on any midi file to test.
