MIDI real time status bytes don't have delta times, but this way we can record when in a track the realtime byte was received and should be sent. Many meta events are string holders text, lyric, marker, etc. When assigning to a meta event's data, if you pass in a string it will get converted to an array of bytes.

The following examples show you how to use midilib to read, write, and manipulate MIDI files and modify track events. See also the files in the examples directory, which are described below.

The read method takes an optional block. If present, the block is called once after each track has finished being read. Each time, it is passed the track object, the total number of tracks and the number of the current track that has just been read. This is useful for notifying the user of progress, for example by updating a GUI progress bar. Combining the last two examples, here is a script that reads a MIDI file, transposes some events, and writes the sequence out to a different file.

This is a useful template for programatically manipulating MIDI data. This code transposes all of the note events note on, note off, and poly pressure on channel 5 down one octave. A few methods in MIDI::Sequence make it easier to calculate the delta times that represent note lengths.

See the documentation for that method for more information. For example, "whole", "sixteenth", "32nd", "quarter triplet", "dotted 16th", and "dotted 8th triplet" are all legal note names.

It is a little pop ditty I wrote. Since I don't normally use GM patches, the sounds used here are at best approximations of the sounds I use. Though the first edition book is available online, I encourage you to purchase a copy of the latest edition. Send email to Jim Menard at mailto: jim jimmenard.

Case statements that use classes work, too:. Use byte arrays instead of strings for passing around data. All tests now pass for both Ruby 1. X and 1. This is a drastic change that will break all previous calls to quantize.
