Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

html-midi-player

npm package npm package daily downloads jsDelivr Published on webcomponents.org

<midi-player> and <midi-visualizer> HTML elements powered by @magenta/music (Magenta.js), fully stylable and scriptable.

Notable websites that use html-midi-player include abcnotation.com, Musical Nexus and demo websites for music generation models: piano infilling, stochastic positional encoding.

If you use html-midi-player on your website, please consider linking back to the repository.

Getting started

  1. Add the necessary scripts to your page:

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/combine/npm/[email protected],npm/@magenta/[email protected]/es6/core.js,npm/focus-visible@5,npm/[email protected]"></script>
  2. Add a player and a visualizer:

    <midi-player
      src="https://magenta.github.io/magenta-js/music/demos/melody.mid"
      sound-font visualizer="#myVisualizer">
    </midi-player>
    <midi-visualizer type="piano-roll" id="myVisualizer"></midi-visualizer>

That's it!

Installing from NPM

You can also add the package to your project from NPM, e.g. npm install --save html-midi-player or yarn add html-midi-player. Then you can either:

  • import 'html-midi-player' in your JavaScript code (as an ES Module), or
  • add the node_modules/html-midi-player/dist/midi-player.min.js bundle directly to your page, along with the dependencies (node_modules/tone/build/Tone.js, node_modules/@magenta/music/es6/core.js; note that these need to go before html-midi-player).

In both cases, you should also add the focus-visible polyfill to enable outlines on keyboard focus.

API basics

See also the API reference for both elements: midi-player, midi-visualizer.

src and noteSequence

Both midi-player and midi-visualizer support two different ways of specifying the input file:

  • By setting the src attribute to a MIDI file URL, e.g.:
    <midi-player src="twinkle-twinkle.mid"></midi-player>
    player.src = "twinkle-twinkle.mid";
  • By assigning a Magenta NoteSequence to the noteSequence property, e.g.:
    player.noteSequence = TWINKLE_TWINKLE;

SoundFonts

By default, the player will use a simple oscillator synth. To use a SoundFont, add the sound-font attribute:

<midi-player sound-font></midi-player>  <!-- default SoundFont (same as below) -->
<midi-player sound-font="https://storage.googleapis.com/magentadata/js/soundfonts/sgm_plus"></midi-player>
player.soundFont = null;  // no SoundFont
player.soundFont = '';    // default SoundFont (same as below)
player.soundFont = 'https://storage.googleapis.com/magentadata/js/soundfonts/sgm_plus';

See the Magenta.js docs for a list of available SoundFonts.

Looping

To make the player loop, use the loop attribute:

<midi-player loop></midi-player>
player.loop = true;

Visualizer settings

The visualizer type is specified via the type attribute. Three visualizer types are supported: piano-roll, waterfall and staff.

Each visualizer type has a set of settings that can be specified using the config attribute, e.g.:

visualizer.config = {
  noteHeight: 4,
  pixelsPerTimeStep: 60,
  minPitch: 30
};

The settings are documented in the Magenta.js docs.

Binding visualizers

A player supports binding one or more visualizers to it using the visualizer attribute (a selector) or the addVisualizer method:

<midi-player visualizer="#myVisualizer, #myOtherVisualizer"></midi-player>
player.addVisualizer(document.getElementById('myVisualizer'));
player.addVisualizer(document.getElementById('myOtherVisualizer'));

The visualizer only gets updated while the player is playing, which allows a single visualizer to be bound to multiple players.

Limitations

  • Only one player can play at a time. Starting a player will stop any other player which is currently playing. (#1) This can actually be a benefit in many cases.
  • Playback position only gets updated on note onsets. This may cause the player to appear stuck.
