Playing MIDI

General JUCE discussion
1

Hi, I'm trying to play a MIDI track that I have recorded using JUCE MIDI input. I have found this old thread (http://www.juce.com/api/classMidiMessageSequence.html#a1d40da64c5a9fd61c7350346ca8c8144), but there's no final solution.

 

I have a separate thread which implements the run method like this:

 

void MidiPlayer::run(){
    if (!workingTrack || !deviceManager) return;
    int index;
    double time = workingTrack->getStartTime(), nextTime;

    for (index = 0; index < workingTrack->getNumEvents(); index++){
        if (threadShouldExit()) break;
        sleep((nextTime = workingTrack->getEventTime(index)) - time);
        deviceManager->getDefaultMidiOutput()->sendMessageNow((workingTrack->getEventPointer(index))->message);
        time = nextTime;
    }

}

But the problem is similar as in the posted thread. It seems to play everything in a moment.
 I think that I don't quite understand the timestamp in this case. What is the "double" suppose to mean? The thing is that there should be some tempo settings and those other MIDI settings but I just cannot put it together.

 

I record the track like this (it is taken out from the MIDI demo and modified a bit):

 

void handleNoteOn(MidiKeyboardState*, int midiChannel, int midiNoteNumber, float velocity) override
    {        
        MidiMessage m(MidiMessage::noteOn(midiChannel, midiNoteNumber, velocity));
        m.setTimeStamp(Time::getMillisecondCounterHiRes() * 0.001);    
        //play sound
        MidiOutput* out = deviceManager->getDefaultMidiOutput();
        if (out) out->sendMessageNow(m);
        //record
        workingTrack.addEvent(m);
        
    }

 

Thanks a lot...

 

//Edit: I think I am beginning to understand... There's no dimension to the timestamp, it is just what I make it to be, right? And it is up to me to interpret it correctly. So in the case above the problem is that I record it in seconds but try to play it in millis. But I stilll do not understand wheteher there is any support for this tempo/clicks per quater note built in or whether I need to implement this as well...
