Symbolic & timed formats — SMF parse/write/render, MusicXML + ABC notation, subtitles. Roundtrip-tested.
| Package | Status | What |
|---|---|---|
@audio/midi-parse |
✔ | SMF → {tracks, tempos, notes, duration} |
@audio/midi-write |
✔ | notes → SMF format-0 bytes |
@audio/midi-render |
✔ | SMF → PCM through the @audio/synth-* atoms — a GM Level 1 map (128 programs + percussion), no soundfont, no samples |
@audio/musicxml |
✔ | notes → MusicXML 4.0 (quantize, ties, chords, voices, key spelling, percussion) + parser; ABC 2.1 writer |
@audio/subtitle |
✔ | SRT / WebVTT / LRC (enhanced word timing) / TTML parse + write; fromWords for ASR/alignment output |
@audio/midi-soundfont |
deferred | render via SF2 or midi-js-soundfonts banks — needs an asset-strategy decision first (real SF2 engine vs. ~100 MB/instrument pre-rendered banks, neither belongs in an npm atom as-is). midi-render is the asset-free answer. |
import { parse, write, render, musicxml, subtitle } from '@audio/midi'
let smf = write(notes, { bpm: 120 }) // notes → SMF bytes
let { notes, tempos, duration } = parse(smf) // SMF bytes → notes
let { channelData, sampleRate } = render(smf) // SMF bytes → PCM, GM synth map
let xml = musicxml(notes, { bpm: 120, key: 'G' }) // notes → sheet music
let srt = subtitle.write(cues, 'srt') // timed textRender through any synth voice of your own choosing:
import { parse } from '@audio/midi'
import poly from '@audio/synth-poly'
let audio = poly(parse(smf).notes, { voice: pluck })Consumers: singing-to-midi tool (site todo), signal/strudel-style editors, @audio/note for pitch math.
