MIDI is a sequence of instructions. It tells a sound module when to turn a note on, which pitch (0-127), how hard (velocity), and when to turn it off. MIDI does not contain sound; it contains gestures . It is linear, precise, and deeply human in its design.

import midi pattern = midi.read_midifile("input.mid") # ... extract notes with open("bytebeat.c", "w") as f: f.write("unsigned char f(int t) \n") for note in notes: f.write(f" if (t >= note.start && t < note.end) return ((t/div(note.pitch)) & 1) * note.velocity;\n") f.write(" return 128;\n\n") midi to bytebeat

To play a specific MIDI note, you must convert its MIDI number ( ) into a frequency ( MIDI is a sequence of instructions
