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 🙏

Event-driven JavaScript library that enables MIDI playback in the browser.

We're looking for contributors! Find an issue on our Kanban board and assign it to yourself.

Install

NPM

This library can be installed via NPM, using the default registry:

npm i web-midi-player

Alternatively, you can set up npm to use GPR to install the library. The dependency can be then installed like this:

npm i @yvesgurcan/web-midi-player

Whichever registry you've used, you can then use ES module syntax to load the dependency.

import MidiPlayer from 'web-midi-player';

Or use the CommonJS module system.

const MidiPlayer = require('web-midi-player');

CDN

Alternatively, you can add this library to your project with a script tag.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/web-midi-player@latest/index.js"></script>

The library will be accessible under window['web-midi-player'].default.

<script>
    const { 'web-midi-player': { default: MidiPlayer } } = window;
</script>

Getting started

This package requires MIDI instrument patches compatible with Timidity (.pat files) in order to play audio.

By default, the player loads instrument patches via the jsDeliver CDN.

const midiPlayer = new MidiPlayer();
midiPlayer.play({ url: 'song.mid' });

Alternatively, you can download instrument patches and add them to your project. Make sure to provide the path to the uncompressed files when instantiating the MIDI player.

const midiPlayer = new MidiPlayer({ patchUrl: 'public/patches/' });
midiPlayer.play({ url: 'song.mid' });

Browser compatibility

This library relies on the Web Audio API and more specifically the AudioContext interface to control MIDI playback. This library will not function as expected with browsers that do not fully support this API.

It is currently not possible to use Web Midi Player with any version of Internet Explorer.
