mididings

The documentation was extended significantly and now includes a tutorial with more useful examples. It also explains some of the relevant Python basics and how they pertain to mididings. Some minor features were added, and a couple of bugs and inconsistencies were fixed.

This release includes a new command line program "mididings" that allows running simple patches without writing full-fledged Python scripts. Support for the previously missing MIDI event types system exclusive, system common, system realtime, and polyphonic aftertouch was added. It's now possible to switch scenes via OSC, and mididings can now automatically restart itself when a script changes.

This release adds functions to limit the number of
simultaneous notes, or to make a MIDI signal
monophonic (with retriggering). It provides a new
event-type agnostic inversion operator for
filters, and Output() now supports sending volume
changes (CC 7).

This version adds support for processing standard MIDI files directly. Patch numbers can now be greater than 128, and Output() supports sending bank select messages. Various bugs have been fixed.

Several problems with the JACK backend have been fixed. This release also features support for channel aftertouch, a few additional units, and a new operator (%) for filters. A new function has been added to mididings.extra that allows saving the selected patch number and restoring it the next time the script is run.
