it is entirely possible that the best way to send and receive midi signals from python is with pygame and that's hilarious
@lycaon makes sense, actually
@lycaon
It feels incredible that no midi libraries or midi tools are genuinely lightweight.
Like, I would expect (given the age of the standard) that there would be hundreds of ~100 line-of-C tools floating around to turn midi into tabs and back again, and that there would be faster methods of converting midi to wav than timidity++.
@enkiv2 just because it's an old standard doesn't mean it's a simple one (in fact, I'd argue the opposite)
@impiaaa
No, but being an old standard makes you expect that it's one that could be run on old machines, and that there are many old implementations.
While the term 'open source' is new, so many open source projects are actually barely-modified still-working code from the 80s. I expected github to be flooded with super-optimized thirty year old midi code written for sparcstations, and I'm surprised that it's not.
