(works with or without the new keyword)
JZZ.MIDI.SMF() - create a new SMF (MIDI File) object with the default settings: type = 1, ppqn = 96.
JZZ.MIDI.SMF(type) - create MIDI File of requested type; valid values for type are 0, 1, or 2; default timing: ppqn = 96.
JZZ.MIDI.SMF(type, ppqn) - create MIDI File with PPQN timing; ppqn - number of pulses (ticks) per quarter note.
JZZ.MIDI.SMF(type, fps, ppf) - create MIDI File with SMPTE timing; fps - number of frames per second; ppf - number of pulses (ticks) per frame.
JZZ.MIDI.SMF(smf) - copy-constructor, where smf is another SMF object.
JZZ.MIDI.SMF(syx) - create from a JZZ.MIDI.SYX object.
JZZ.MIDI.SMF(data) - create from binary data; data - the contents of a MIDI or RMI file as a String, Buffer, ArrayBuffer, Int8Array or Uint8Array.
smf.toString() convert MIDI file to human-readable string.
NOTE: in most JavaScript realizations, console.log() does not automatically call this function.
smf.dump(rmi) - export MIDI File in .MID(.KAR) format if rmi evaluates to false, or in .RMI format otherwie; returns a String of bytes.
smf.toBuffer(rmi) - as above; returns a Buffer object.
smf.toArrayBuffer(rmi) - as above; returns an ArrayBuffer object.
smf.toInt8Array(rmi) - as above; returns an Int8Array object.
smf.toUint8Array(rmi) - as above; returns a Uint8Array object.
NOTE: depending on the System/JavaScript version, some Array/Buffer types above may be not available.
SMF object is subclassed from JavaScript Array and inherits all its functions and attributes like push(), length, operator [], etc...
It contains data chunks and MIDI tracks.
(works with or without the new keyword)
JZZ.MIDI.SMF.Chunk(type, data) - create an arbitrary Chunk object; type - chunk name, a 4-byte String; data - chunk contents, a String of bytes.
Chunks of non-MTrk types are ignored by most MIDI software.
(works with or without the new keyword)
JZZ.MIDI.SMF.MTrk() - create a new MIDI Track.
As well as SMF, MTrk object is also subclassed from JavaScript Array and inherits all its functions and attributes. It contains MIDI events.
mtrk.add(time, midi) - add MIDI event to the track; time - the event time in MIDI ticks; midi - a MIDI message or a Standard MIDI File Meta Event.
var smf = new JZZ.MIDI.SMF(0, 96);
smf.push(new JZZ.MIDI.SMF.MTrk());
smf[0].add(0, JZZ.MIDI.smfBPM(120)) // tempo 120 bpm
.add(96, JZZ.MIDI.noteOn(0, 'C6', 127))
.add(96, JZZ.MIDI.noteOn(0, 'Eb6', 127))
.add(96, JZZ.MIDI.noteOn(0, 'G6', 127))
.add(192, JZZ.MIDI.noteOff(0, 'C6'))
.add(192, JZZ.MIDI.noteOff(0, 'Eb6'))
.add(192, JZZ.MIDI.noteOff(0, 'G6'))
.add(288, JZZ.MIDI.smfEndOfTrack());
require('fs').writeFileSync('out.mid', smf.dump(), 'binary');
mtrk.tick(time) - return a "timed reference" to the track;
unlike in the MIDI-Out's wait(), the time is set in MIDI ticks.
mtrk.send(midi) - add MIDI event at the "current" tick; similar to the MIDI-Out's send(),
For each helper name, mtrk.helper(...) is equivalent to mtrk.send(JZZ.MIDI.helper(...)).

mtrk.note(c, n, v, t) is equivalent to mtrk.noteOn(c, n, v).tick(t).noteOff(c, n) if t > 0, and to mtrk.noteOn(c, n, v) otherwise.
mtrk.ch(chan) - set the channel information for the subsequent chained calls; same as the MIDI-Out's ch(),
mtrk.sxId(id) - set the default SysEx ID for the subsequent chained calls; same as the MIDI-Out's sxId(),
// the calls from the example above can be rewritten shorter:
smf[0].smfBPM(120).ch(0) // subsequent calls will apply to channel 0
.tick(96).noteOn('C6', 127).noteOn('Eb6', 127).noteOn('G6', 127)
.tick(96).noteOff('C6').noteOff('Eb6').noteOff('G6')
.tick(96).smfEndOfTrack();
// or
smf[0].smfBPM(120).ch(0)
.tick(96).note('C6', 127, 96).note('Eb6', 127, 96).note('G6', 127, 96)
.tick(192).smfEndOfTrack();
.syx file is a binary file with the contents of one or more SysEx messages.
It is normally used to dump and store MIDI instrument data.
JZZ.MIDI.SYX constructors work with or without the new keyword:
JZZ.MIDI.SYX(msg) - create a MIDI message; msg must be a SysEx message or a corresponding array of bytes.
JZZ.MIDI.SYX(syx) - copy-constructor, where syx is another SYX object.
JZZ.MIDI.SYX(smf) - create from a JZZ.MIDI.SMF object; Throws if the MIDI file contains any non-SysEx MIDI message; Ignores SMF meta events.
JZZ.MIDI.SYX(data) - create from binary data; data - the contents of a SYX file as a String, Buffer, ArrayBuffer, Int8Array or Uint8Array.
syx.toString() convert SYX file to human-readable string.
NOTE: in most JavaScript realizations, console.log() does not automatically call this function.
syx.dump() - export SYX File as a String of bytes.
syx.toBuffer() - as above; returns a Buffer object.
syx.toArrayBuffer() - as above; returns an ArrayBuffer object.
syx.toInt8Array() - as above; returns an Int8Array object.
syx.toUint8Array() - as above; returns a Uint8Array object.
NOTE: depending on the System/JavaScript version, some Array/Buffer types above may be not available.
syx.add(msg), syx.send(msg) - add MIDI message; See the example below.
All the helper functions can be also used as well as ch() and sxId(), however, all non-SysEx messages will be ignored.
// the calls below produce identical SYX objects: var syx1 = new JZZ.MIDI.SYX(JZZ.MIDI.sxIdRequest()); var syx2 = JZZ.MIDI.SYX([0xf0, 0x7e, 0x7f, 0x06, 0x01]); var syx3 = JZZ.MIDI.SYX(syx2); var syx4 = JZZ.MIDI.SYX(); syx4.add(JZZ.MIDI.sxIdRequest()); var syx5 = JZZ.MIDI.SYX(); syx5.add([0xf0, 0x7e, 0x7f, 0x06, 0x01]); var syx6 = new JZZ.MIDI.SYX(); syx6.sxIdRequest(); // etc...
JZZ.MIDI.Clip constructors work with or without the new keyword:
JZZ.MIDI.Clip(clip) - copy-constructor, where clip is another Clip object.
JZZ.MIDI.Clip(data) - create from binary data; data - the contents of a MIDI 2.0 Clip file as a String, Buffer, ArrayBuffer, Int8Array or Uint8Array.
clip.toString() convert Clip file to human-readable string.
NOTE: in most JavaScript realizations, console.log() does not automatically call this function.
clip.dump() - export Clip File as a String of bytes.
clip.toBuffer() - as above; returns a Buffer object.

clip.add(time, midi) - add MIDI event to the clip; time - the event time in MIDI ticks; midi - a MIDI 2.0 message.
clip.tick(time) - return a "timed reference" to the clip.
clip.send(midi) - add MIDI 2.0 event at the "current" tick; sending a Delta Clock message is equivalent to calling the clip.tick() function.
For each helper name, clip.helper(...) is equivalent to clip.send(JZZ.MIDI2.helper(...)).
All MIDI 1.0 helpers require group as an additional first parameter and produce MIDI 1.0 messages wrapped into Universal MIDI Packages (UMP).
