PS. In fact both links point to the same "MIDI class" package except that the first one is 12-year old and the second one has been updated on GIThub 4 years ago… ----------- We do need to import MIDI files when editing a sound-object prototypes, and this takes place on the PHP interface at the moment. It's not complicated. I downloaded "MIDI class" by Fluxus: https://www.phpclasses.org/package/1362-PHP-Read-write-and-manipulate-MIDI-files-and-data.html but that one is more recent: https://github.com/robbie-cao/midi-class-php Their code looks familiar and promising! It is true that we could request the console to do the conversion and send back the time-stamped MIDI codes, but using a more advanced package might give access to advanced methods. The console will be invoked to play the sound-object that is being edited, or an arbitrary polymetrric structure that may first be interpreted by the grammar. For this we'll only need a "--startstring" option. If the option to write a Csound output is set, the same will be used for converting MIDI codes to Csound, using either the default BP2 Csound orchestra or a "-cs" file defining an orchestra.
