Hi David,

Aside from documentation you can find here:

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~spencer/ckdoc/io.html#MidiFileIn

there is an example of usage included with chuck:

https://github.com/ccrma/chuck/blob/main/examples/midi/playmidi.ck

In essence, MidiFileIn gives you an ordered list of timestamped MIDI messages (class MidiMsg documented on that same page). ChucK doesn't do much to interpret the messages other than give you the 1-3 bytes in the message, but there are many resources online for how to interpret these, such as:

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~music/cmsip/readings/davids-midi-spec.htm

Ive seen some ChucK classes floating around that help out with interpreting different MIDI message types (noteOn/off, control change, etc.) from the 1-3 byte messages though I haven't used these myself.

Can anyone point me to documentation on the use of the MidiFileIn class?

I know that it has member functions such as .open(), .read(), .rewind(), etc., but am looking for examples of how you would use it to read and play a MIDI file in ChucK.

Santé,
