Re: [LAU] command line midi processing

Aug 29 2018, Francesco Ariis has written: ... Hm, if I remember correctly soundfonts do support some synthesis options. You might be able to edit your soundfont for a shorter attack. Otherwise midish (www.midish.org) is a commandline tool to edit MIDI. It comes with its own bash-like scripting language. You could pipe a script to it and change the sound to something more convenient in your soundfont, using program change. Generally: you'd "import" the file, using a pc or xpc event to change the program on certain channels and export the result to another MIDI file. There's also a perl application called midiedit, not sure how much that can do though, I seem to remember that it was a bit more interactive. I also seem to recall an application called midi2txt or midi2text and the converter back to MIDI. Another option might be to choose a different instrument in ABC. If all of that doesn't meet your ideas, then you could write or look for a procedure in Csound, it can read and write MIDI. Exchanging sound/programs should be trivial. If there's nothing out there, I'm sure it could be quickly written (by someone other than yourself preferrably? :) ).
