  2. The MIDI beat reader , to sequence and send out midi notes in the proper tempo and rhythm. Uses the score “antescofo_play_beat.txt” in the djazz_data/scores folder.

Midifile

This is a small C application that is called from the shell in the make-score-file tool. It converts MIDI data to a .txt file, which is then converted by the tool into JSON.

The source code is available here.

It is used in the “make_score_file.maxpat” tool; it opens a shell instance in order to call the midifile external .
