This repository contains a simple midi parser
which is free software.
It should be able to parse most .midi files out there.
Since the parser returns a stream of events (see the
midi dump example), it works without
any runtime allocation.
The parser has no dependencies, and supports most platforms due to its simple code and no use of file I/O.
You can build midi-parser via cmake . && make.
Alternatively, to build midi-parser as part of your program,
add src/midi-parser.c to your project's
object files, and the include/ folder to your include path.
(For Visual Studio, you'll find the required fields in your
project settings.)
Example using gcc, assuming this repository is at path-to-midi-parser:
$ gcc -o myprogram my_own_code.c path-to-midi-parser/src/midi-parser.c -Ipath-to-midi-parser/include
Running cmake . && make will also build the example/mini-dump.c demo
as midi-dump executable.
You can then use ./midi-dump mymidifile.mid on any midi file to test.
