Adventures in Real-Time MIDI

Furnished content.

Preamble

Since discovering Perl real-time MIDI and writing about creating async drums with it, I’ve dug deeper into what’s possible. I have a few music and MIDI modules on CPAN and like to put them to use in real time, now that I have been enlightened by zen master John Barrett. Ha :DThis will be a mostly commented-code illustration of real-time arpeggiation. It is maybe “just a hobby.” But the principles of asynchronous programming, periodic execution of a set of things, are generically applicable to other types of problems.There is no perplexing music theory here: just some terms to know. A note is a little vector of a pitch (high or low) and a duration (long or short). A scale is a collection of pitches, starting at the tonic. An octave is the musical interval between one note and another, where each has the same letter name but twice (or half) its frequency (in Hertz). A clock is a MIDI message sent to a device to keep timing. MIDI stands for “musical instrument digital interface” and is the beating heart of a lot of digital music. An arpeggio is usually a chord of the chosen scale, where the notes are played individually in rising or descending order. A chord is a collection of three or more notes. An arpeggio is played over a given spread or range of beat durations. A beat is an atom of the rhythm. The rhythm is the collection of note durations of a phrase. A measure of musical time is a group of beats most commonly four. Finally, the term velocity is equivalent to the volume or loudness of a note. Whew!Anyway, on with the show. (And audio examples are at the bottom.)

Broad strokes

What this is:A generative arpeggiator that runs forever, choosing random scale notes and random arpeggios. This plays them on a MIDI synth, all driven by a MIDI clock.The core ideas:

A universe of notes defined by a tonic pitch, a scale name, and a set of octaves
An asynchronous clock engine using a periodic timer to drive events and MIDI messaging
Phrase generation with flexible arpeggio parameters and velocity randomization
Graceful shutdown with all-notes-off/panic being the important part

Code overview:

Dependency imports
Optional parameters that guide the processing
Internal parameters defining program operation
Cleanup on program halt
Loop and periodic timer
Handy subroutines

Basically, this code is all machinery to play things in real time. The actual arpeggiation is pretty simple and happens at the beginning of the trigger_notes() routine, given the object.Let’s look at each of these in closer detail.

Dependency imports

Loop and timer

Handy subroutines

sub trigger_notes {    # pick a random note count, then that many random pitches, sorted low-to-high for the arpeggiator    my @notes = sort { $a <=> $b }        map { [int rand @pitches] } 1 .. [int rand @note_nums]; # XXX clunky    # get an arpeggiated note list given a random arp_type    my  = ->arp(\@notes, 1, [int rand @arp_types]);    # convert from the arp's 96-ticks-per-quarter-note scale to our clock ticks    my @raw_ticks = map {        my () = $_->[0] =~ /^d(\d+)$/; # duration encoded as a string like "d96"        # rescale from the module's tick resolution to our own clock's ticks-per-beat        max(1, int( *  / ));    } @;    my  = 1; # default multiplier: 1 = no rescaling    if ({spread}) {        # total unscaled duration of the arp        my  = sum0(@raw_ticks) || 1;        # convert the desired spread (in beats) into tick units        my  = {spread} * ;        # factor that stretches or squeezes the arp's total length to exactly fill the available ticks         =  / ;    }    # anchor the first note of this phrase to "right now" of the master clock    my  = ;    for my $i (0 .. $#) {        my (undef, ) = @{ ->[$i] }; # a note is a duration and a pitch        # note's scaled length, floored at 1 tick        my  = max(1, int([$i] * ));        # schedule the note to be turned on/off        push @pending, {            note     => ,            on_tick  => ,            off_tick =>  + ,        };        # advance the cursor so the next note in the arp starts right where this one ends         += ;    }}sub velocity (00, , ) {    # generate a randomized velocity within [min+offset, max+offset]    my  =  + int(rand( - 00 + 1)) + 00;    return ;}

A superior implementation would use the Getopt::Long module to parse command-line arguments. Hint, hint. ;)

The port that is opened is my MIDI interface to the microKORG, which is partly named midimate. It is worth pointing out that the out_port() function uses case-insensitive substrings/regexes to match MIDI device names.

Conclusions

You too can make MIDI music in real-time! And arpeggios are a highly useful technique for “filling the silence.”Timing events with async code takes quite a bit of logic. And sleeping is not an option.These techniques have wider usefulness. Knowledge of event systems is essential for programming graphical and interactive applications, high-concurrency network services, simulations, , and more! :-)
