MIDI Player

A MIDI FX module for Schwung that plays Standard MIDI Files (.mid) into the chain slot's sound generator, synced to Move's MIDI clock.

Usage

1. Install via the Module Store (or build + install manually below).
2. SSH or SMB into your Move and drop .mid files into: /data/UserData/schwung/modules/midi_fx/midi-player/MIDI/
3. In a chain slot, load MIDI Player as the MIDI FX.
4. From the slot menu:
   • Choose File… — pick a .mid from the directory above.
   • Track — All (default) merges every track into one stream, or pick a single track.
   • Loop — on / off.
5. Press play on Move. The file follows Move's tempo via MIDI clock.

All notes are rewritten to channel 1 before being sent to the slot's synth.

Building

./scripts/build.sh        # cross-compile via Docker, produces dist/midi-player-module.tar.gz
./scripts/install.sh      # scp to a Move on the network at move.local

Limitations (v0.1)

• Tempo meta events in the .mid file are discarded; playback speed follows Move's MIDI clock.
• Song Position Pointer (0xF2) is not handled.
• Events are quantized to the 24 PPQN clock grid (sixteenth-note triplets at worst).
• SMPTE-division .mid files are not supported.
