Lee Revell <rlrevell(a)joe-job.com> eut le bonheur d'_crire:
Ugh. All I need to do is snoop note on, note off, and
the note number.
But you're saying that 0x81 is sometimes part of a timestamp, and other
times it means note off on channel 1?
Bytes you read, when decoding smf-like stream (which is to say with
delta times in between) must be decoded differently whether you are
reading an event or a delta time, yes
So you are saying my driver needs to have full
knowledge of the MIDI
state machine in order to snoop note on and note off?
I believe so. You also may have to care about other midi specific
things to parse like
-Running command: Command byte (the one with 1 on bit 7) may be ommited
if it is the same as last one
-"Note on" with velocity 0 is considered as "note off" (most of the
time)
91 42 7f
81 30
91 41 3e
88 37
81 42 00
30
81 41 00
may be optimized as
(-- is an ommited repeated "running" command byte)
91 42 7f
81 30
-- 41 3e
88 37
81 42 00
30
-- 41 00
or even
91 42 7f
81 30
-- 41 3e
88 37
-- 42 00
