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 🙏

MidiConvert

Build Status codecov

DEMO

MidiConvert makes it straightforward to work with MIDI files in Javascript. It uses midi-file-parser to decode MIDI files and jsmidgen to encode MIDI files.

// load a midi file
MidiConvert.load("path/to/midi.mid", function(midi) {
  console.log(midi)
})

Format

The data parsed from the midi file looks like this:

{
  // the transport and timing data
  header: {
    name: String,                     // the name of the first empty track, 
                                      // which is usually the song name
    bpm: Number,                      // the tempo, e.g. 120
    timeSignature: [Number, Number],  // the time signature, e.g. [4, 4],
    PPQ: Number                       // the Pulses Per Quarter of the midi file
  },

  startTime: Number,                  // the time before the first note plays
  duration: Number,                   // the time until the last note finishes

  // an array of midi tracks
  tracks: [
    {
      id: Number,                     // the position of this track in the array
      name: String,                   // the track name if one was given
      notes: [
        {
          midi: Number,               // midi number, e.g. 60
          time: Number,               // time in seconds
          note: String,               // note name, e.g. "C4"
          velocity: Number,           // normalized 0-1 velocity
          duration: Number,           // duration between noteOn and noteOff
        }
      ],

      startTime: Number,              // the time before the first note plays
      duration: Number,               // the time until the last note finishes

      // midi control changes
      controlChanges: {
        // if there are control changes in the midi file
        '91': [
          {
            number: Number,           // the cc number
            time: Number,             // time in seconds
            value: Number,            // normalized 0-1
          }
        ],
      },

      isPercussion: Boolean,          // true if this track is on a percussion
                                      // channel
      channelNumber: Number,          // the ID for this channel; 9 and 10 are
                                      // reserved for percussion

      instrumentNumber: Number,       // the ID for this instrument, as defined
                                      // by the MIDI spec
      instrumentFamily: String,       // the name of this instrument's family,
                                      // as defined by the MIDI spec
      instrument: String,             // the instrument name, as defined by the
                                      // MIDI spec
    }
  ]
}

Raw Midi Parsing

If you are using Node.js or have the raw binary string from the midi file, just use the parse method:

fs.readFile("test.mid", "binary", function(err, midiBlob) {
  if (!err) {
    var midi = MidiConvert.parse(midiBlob)
  }
})

Encoding Midi

You can also create midi files from scratch or by modifying an existing file.

// create a new midi file
var midi = MidiConvert.create()
// add a track
midi.track()
  // select an instrument by its MIDI patch number
  .patch(32)
  // chain note events: note, time, duration
  .note(60, 0, 2)
  .note(63, 1, 2)
  .note(60, 2, 2)

// write the output
fs.writeFileSync("output.mid", midi.encode(), "binary")

Tone.Part

The note data can be easily passed into Tone.Part

var synth = new Tone.PolySynth(8).toMaster()

MidiConvert.load("path/to/midi.mid", function(midi) {

  // make sure you set the tempo before you schedule the events
  Tone.Transport.bpm.value = midi.header.bpm

  // pass in the note events from one of the tracks as the second argument to Tone.Part 
  var midiPart = new Tone.Part(function(time, note) {

    //use the events to play the synth
    synth.triggerAttackRelease(note.name, note.duration, time, note.velocity)

  }, midi.tracks[0].notes).start()

  // start the transport to hear the events
  Tone.Transport.start()
})

Acknowledgment

MidiConvert uses midi-file-parser which is ported from jasmid for decoding MIDI data and and jsmidgen for encoding MIDI data.
