A tool to get quick MIDI information about a bunch of MIDI files, and save it to a JSON file.
This was created for getting the info from all of my MIDIs into a single file for my website. My website works off an object which follows a similar structure to the structure in the midis folder.
The program looks for all .mid files in the midis folder, and parses through all of them. It calculates:
- File Size
- Track Count
- PPQN
- Note Count
and saves it into a JSON file with the following structure:
{
"midiName": {
"versionName": {
"FileSize": string,
"Tracks": int,
"PPQN": int,
"Notes": int
},
[...]
}
[...]
}
To use this project, follow the steps below
- Clone the repo
- Install Go
- Put your MIDIs in the "midis" folder. Note: Use the structure prescribed in the README there.
- Execute
go run .
to run the program - The info will be spit out as "midi_info.json" in the root directory.
The code currently does not read note count accurately. I am working to solve this issue and get a more reliable note count but it may take me some time. If you are someone who has experience with note counts and want to help out, please make a pull request!
