coremidi

This is a CoreMIDI library for Rust built on top of the low-level bindings coremidi-sys. CoreMIDI is a Mac OSX framework that provides APIs for communicating with MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) devices, including hardware keyboards and synthesizers.

This library preserves the fundamental concepts behind the CoreMIDI framework, while being Rust idiomatic. This means that if you already know CoreMIDI, you will find very easy to start using it.

The documentation for the master branch can be found here: https://chris-zen.github.io/coremidi/coremidi/

Please see the examples for an idea on how it looks like, but if you are eager to see some code, this is how you would send some note:

rust extern crate coremidi; use coremidi::{Client, Destinations, PacketBuffer}; use std::time::Duration; use std::thread; let client = Client::new("example-client").unwrap(); let output_port = client.output_port("example-port").unwrap(); let destination = Destinations::from_index(0); let note_on = PacketBuffer::from_data(0, vec![0x90, 0x40, 0x7f]); let note_off = PacketBuffer::from_data(0, vec![0x80, 0x40, 0x7f]); output_port.send(&destination, &note_on).unwrap(); thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(1000)); output_port.send(&destination, &note_off).unwrap();

If you are looking for a portable MIDI library then you can look into: - portmidi-rs - midir

For handling low level MIDI data you may look into: - midi-rs - rimd

Please note that this is a work in progress project !

Beta-testers are more than welcomed ;-)
