JZZ.input.ASCII

Map ASCII keyboard to MIDI notes. This module goes well with JZZ.input.Kbd.

See the demo...

Usage

JZZ.input.ASCII(map);
// or
JZZ.input.ASCII(name, map);
// or
JZZ.input.ASCII.register(name, map);
JZZ().openMidiIn(name);

where map - is the mapping object that maps key names to MIDI values.

Key name can be a letter from A to Z, digit from 0 to 9, underscore '_', or any of the following characters:

' ', '+', '=', '-', '[', '{', ']', '}', '|', '\\', '`', '~', ';', ':', "'", '"', ',', '<', '.', '>', '/', '?' .

MIDI value can be either a number or a human-readable note name like 'C5', 'F#6', 'Bb4', etc...

Additional keys:

at - the DOM element or the ID of the DOM element to receive the keyboard events; if omitted, it will be the entire document.
(If, for instance, JZZ.input.ASCII is used in combination with JZZ.input.Kbd and/or other controls, it would make sense to set the at parameter to the paretn element, containing these controls, that will receive the keyboard input focus when user clicks at the control.)
chan - MIDI channel; default: 0.

Example

<script src='JZZ.js'></script>
<script src='JZZ.input.Kbd.js'></script>
...
<script><!--
// map the keys    s d   g h j
//                z x c v b n m    to the first octave:
JZZ.input.ASCII({
  Z:'C5', S:'C#5', X:'D5', D:'D#5', C:'E5', V:'F5', G:'F#5', B:'G5', H:'Ab5', N:'A5', J:'Bb5', M:'B5'
}).connect(JZZ().openMidiOut());
