Description
port_midi is a wrapper around the cross-platform PortMidi MIDI I/O library.
The low-level wrapper around PortMidi is in the lib LibPortMIDI.
The module PortMIDI contains a few helper functions that are useful when
converting between MIDI data and PortMidi messages. It also contains the
function PortMIDI#list_all_devices which prints out all of the input and
output devices available to PortMidi.
At a higher level of abstraction, InputStream and OutputStream represent
the two kinds of streams that do reading and writing of MIDI data.
Finally, a SimpleMIDIDevice wraps one input stream and one output stream.

This shard provides facilities for checking whether a constant exists at compile time, and for a variety of different conditional compilation options. Code can be conditionally compiled based on the existence of a constant, version number constraints, or whether an environment variable is set truthy or not.

port_midi
port_midi is a wrapper around the cross-platform
PortMidi MIDI I/O library.
The low-level wrapper around PortMidi is in the lib LibPortMIDI.
The module PortMIDI contains a few helper functions that are useful when
converting between MIDI data and PortMidi messages. It also contains the
function PortMIDI#list_all_devices which prints out all of the input and
output devices available to PortMidi.
At a higher level of abstraction, InputStream and OutputStream represent
the two kinds of streams that do reading and writing of MIDI data.
Finally, a SimpleMIDIDevice wraps one input stream and one output stream.
Installation
- Install the PortMidi library. If you are on MacOS and you use Homebrew,
you can run
brew install portmidi. Otherwise, download the PortMidi source from http://portmedia.sourceforge.net/portmidi/ and compile it. - Add the dependency to your
shard.yml:yaml dependencies: port_midi: github: jimm/crystal_port_midi - Run
shards install
Usage
require "port_midi"
PortMIDI.initialize
See the examples directory for a few sample applications that use
port_midi and the InputStream, OutputStream, and SimpleMIDIDevice
classes.
To build the examples, run shards build.
Development and Testing
To run the tests, run crystal spec.
When running tests on Travis CI or CircleCI, we limit ourselves to tests
that do not return PortMidi errors. That is because the installation of
libportmidi available to Travis through apt-get is compiled with the
PM_CHECK_ERRORS flag enabled. When an error such as an invalid device ID
happens, the flag causes the PortMidi code to display a message, prompt the
user to hit ENTER, and exit immediately. I can work around the prompt by
running /usr/bin/yes
| crystal spec, but I can't work around the call to exit.
Documentation
To generate the docs, run crystal docs.
