MIDI OO interface?
Christian Renz
I currently do a lot of Perl MIDI stuff for a university project. I
work mostly on modifying and transitioning between small snippets of
MIDI (MIDI::Morph will do that satisfactorily one day). For that, I
need quite a lot of helper functions. I'll probably update my
MIDI::Tools soon with stuff like append_scores(), quantize_pitch() (to
scales), quantize_durations() etc.
This has led me to the following question: Is it planned to have an
object-oriented version of the MIDI modules? I'd like to do stuff like
my $m = MIDI::Score->new(...)
$m->Append(...);
$n = $m->Copy();
$m->Quantize(...);
$e = $m->AsEvents(); # $e is now an MIDI::Events object
and so on. I think that could have the potential of providing quite a
nice interface. I'd definitely be willing to help out with an OO
wrapper for the existing modules.
Greetings,
Christian

interface already, but I meant an extension of this interface to
include event lists and scores.
