Detailed Description

Reads/writes standard midi format files.

To read a midi file, create a MidiFile object and call its readFrom() method. You can then get the individual midi tracks from it using the getTrack() method.

To write a file, create a MidiFile object, add some MidiMessageSequence objects to it using the addTrack() method, and then call its writeTo() method to stream it out.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MidiFile() [1/3]

juce::MidiFile::MidiFile ( )

Creates an empty MidiFile object.

◆ MidiFile() [2/3]

juce::MidiFile::MidiFile ( const MidiFile )

Creates a copy of another MidiFile.

◆ MidiFile() [3/3]

juce::MidiFile::MidiFile ( MidiFile &&  )

Member Function Documentation

◆ addTrack()

void juce::MidiFile::addTrack ( const MidiMessageSequence trackSequence)

Adds a midi track to the file.

This will make its own internal copy of the sequence that is passed-in.

See also
getNumTracks, getTrack

◆ clear()

void juce::MidiFile::clear ( )

Removes all midi tracks from the file.

See also
getNumTracks

◆ convertTimestampTicksToSeconds()

void juce::MidiFile::convertTimestampTicksToSeconds ( )

Converts the timestamp of all the midi events from midi ticks to seconds.

This will use the midi time format and tempo/time signature info in the tracks to convert all the timestamps to absolute values in seconds.

◆ findAllKeySigEvents()

void juce::MidiFile::findAllKeySigEvents ( MidiMessageSequence keySigEvents) const

Makes a list of all the key-signature meta-events from all tracks in the midi file.

Parameters
keySigEventsa list to which all the events will be added

◆ findAllTempoEvents()

void juce::MidiFile::findAllTempoEvents ( MidiMessageSequence tempoChangeEvents) const

Makes a list of all the tempo-change meta-events from all tracks in the midi file.

Useful for finding the positions of all the tempo changes in a file.

Parameters
tempoChangeEventsa list to which all the events will be added

◆ findAllTimeSigEvents()

void juce::MidiFile::findAllTimeSigEvents ( MidiMessageSequence timeSigEvents) const

Makes a list of all the time-signature meta-events from all tracks in the midi file.

Useful for finding the positions of all the tempo changes in a file.

Parameters
timeSigEventsa list to which all the events will be added

◆ getLastTimestamp()

double juce::MidiFile::getLastTimestamp ( ) const

Returns the latest timestamp in any of the tracks.

(Useful for finding the length of the file).

◆ getNumTracks()

int juce::MidiFile::getNumTracks ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the number of tracks in the file.

See also
getTrack, addTrack

◆ getTimeFormat()

short juce::MidiFile::getTimeFormat ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the raw time format code that will be written to a stream.

After reading a midi file, this method will return the time-format that was read from the file's header. It can be changed using the setTicksPerQuarterNote() or setSmpteTimeFormat() methods.

If the value returned is positive, it indicates the number of midi ticks per quarter-note - see setTicksPerQuarterNote().

It it's negative, the upper byte indicates the frames-per-second (but negative), and the lower byte is the number of ticks per frame - see setSmpteTimeFormat().

◆ getTrack()

const MidiMessageSequence* juce::MidiFile::getTrack ( int  index) const
noexcept

Returns a pointer to one of the tracks in the file.

Returns
a pointer to the track, or nullptr if the index is out-of-range
See also
getNumTracks, addTrack

◆ operator=() [1/2]

MidiFile& juce::MidiFile::operator= ( const MidiFile )

Copies from another MidiFile object.

◆ operator=() [2/2]

MidiFile& juce::MidiFile::operator= ( MidiFile &&  )

Copies from another MidiFile object.

◆ readFrom()

bool juce::MidiFile::readFrom ( InputStream sourceStream,
bool  createMatchingNoteOffs = true,
int midiFileType = nullptr 
)

Reads a midi file format stream.

After calling this, you can get the tracks that were read from the file by using the getNumTracks() and getTrack() methods.

The timestamps of the midi events in the tracks will represent their positions in terms of midi ticks. To convert them to seconds, use the convertTimestampTicksToSeconds() method.

Parameters
sourceStreamthe source stream
createMatchingNoteOffsif true, any missing note-offs for previous note-ons will be automatically added at the end of the file by calling MidiMessageSequence::updateMatchedPairs on each track.
midiFileTypeif not nullptr, the integer at this address will be set to 0, 1, or 2 depending on the type of the midi file
Returns
true if the stream was read successfully

◆ readNextTrack()

void juce::MidiFile::readNextTrack ( const uint8 ,
int  ,
bool   
)
private

◆ setSmpteTimeFormat()

void juce::MidiFile::setSmpteTimeFormat ( int  framesPerSecond,
int  subframeResolution 
)
noexcept

Sets the time format to use when this file is written to a stream.

If this is called, the file will be written using absolute times, rather than bars/beats as would be the case if setTicksPerBeat() had been called instead.

Parameters
framesPerSecondmust be 24, 25, 29 or 30
subframeResolutionthe sub-second resolution, e.g. 4 (midi time code), 8, 10, 80 (SMPTE bit resolution), or 100. For millisecond timing, setSmpteTimeFormat (25, 40)
See also
setTicksPerBeat

◆ setTicksPerQuarterNote()

void juce::MidiFile::setTicksPerQuarterNote ( int  ticksPerQuarterNote)
noexcept

Sets the time format to use when this file is written to a stream.

If this is called, the file will be written as bars/beats using the specified resolution, rather than SMPTE absolute times, as would be used if setSmpteTimeFormat() had been called instead.

Parameters
ticksPerQuarterNotee.g. 96, 960
See also
setSmpteTimeFormat

◆ writeTo()

bool juce::MidiFile::writeTo ( OutputStream destStream,
int  midiFileType = 1 
) const

Writes the midi tracks as a standard midi file.

The midiFileType value is written as the file's format type, which can be 0, 1 or 2 - see the midi file spec for more info about that.

Parameters
destStreamthe destination stream
midiFileTypethe type of midi file
Returns
true if the operation succeeded.

◆ writeTrack()

bool juce::MidiFile::writeTrack ( OutputStream ,
const MidiMessageSequence  
) const
private
