<brief_description>
+ Input event for MIDI inputs.
</brief_description>
<description>
+ InputEventMIDI allows receiving input events from MIDI devices such as a piano. MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
+ MIDI signals can be sent over a 5-pin MIDI connector or over USB, if your device supports both be sure to check the settings in the device to see which output it's using.
+ To receive input events from MIDI devices, you need to call [method OS.open_midi_inputs]. You can check which devices are detected using [method OS.get_connected_midi_inputs].
+ [codeblocks]
+ [gdscript]
+ func _ready():
+ OS.open_midi_inputs()
+ print(OS.get_connected_midi_inputs())
+
+ func _input(input_event):
+ if input_event is InputEventMIDI:
+ _print_midi_info(input_event)
+
+ func _print_midi_info(midi_event: InputEventMIDI):
+ print(midi_event)
+ print("Channel " + str(midi_event.channel))
+ print("Message " + str(midi_event.message))
+ print("Pitch " + str(midi_event.pitch))
+ print("Velocity " + str(midi_event.velocity))
+ print("Instrument " + str(midi_event.instrument))
+ print("Pressure " + str(midi_event.pressure))
+ print("Controller number: " + str(midi_event.controller_number))
+ print("Controller value: " + str(midi_event.controller_value))
+ [/gdscript]
+ [csharp]
+ public override void _Ready()
+ {
+ OS.OpenMidiInputs();
+ GD.Print(OS.GetConnectedMidiInputs());
+ }
+
+ public override void _Input(InputEvent inputEvent)
+ {
+ if (inputEvent is InputEventMIDI midiEvent)
+ {
+ PrintMIDIInfo(midiEvent);
+ }
+ }
+
+ private void PrintMIDIInfo(InputEventMIDI midiEvent)
+ {
+ GD.Print(midiEvent);
+ GD.Print("Channel " + midiEvent.Channel);
+ GD.Print("Message " + midiEvent.Message);
+ GD.Print("Pitch " + midiEvent.Pitch);
+ GD.Print("Velocity " + midiEvent.Velocity);
+ GD.Print("Instrument " + midiEvent.Instrument);
+ GD.Print("Pressure " + midiEvent.Pressure);
+ GD.Print("Controller number: " + midiEvent.ControllerNumber);
+ GD.Print("Controller value: " + midiEvent.ControllerValue);
+ }
+ [/csharp]
+ [/codeblocks]
+ Note that Godot does not currently support MIDI output, so there is no way to emit MIDI signals from Godot. Only MIDI input works.

<member name="channel" type="int" setter="set_channel" getter="get_channel" default="0">
+ The MIDI channel of this input event. There are 16 channels, so this value ranges from 0 to 15. MIDI channel 9 is reserved for the use with percussion instruments, the rest of the channels are for non-percussion instruments.
</member>
<member name="controller_number" type="int" setter="set_controller_number" getter="get_controller_number" default="0">
+ If the message is [code]MIDI_MESSAGE_CONTROL_CHANGE[/code], this indicates the controller number, otherwise this is zero. Controllers include devices such as pedals and levers.
</member>
<member name="controller_value" type="int" setter="set_controller_value" getter="get_controller_value" default="0">
+ If the message is [code]MIDI_MESSAGE_CONTROL_CHANGE[/code], this indicates the controller value, otherwise this is zero. Controllers include devices such as pedals and levers.
</member>
<member name="instrument" type="int" setter="set_instrument" getter="get_instrument" default="0">
+ The instrument of this input event. This value ranges from 0 to 127. Refer to the instrument list on the General MIDI wikipedia article to see a list of instruments, except that this value is 0-index, so subtract one from every number on that chart. A standard piano will have an instrument number of 0.
</member>
<member name="message" type="int" setter="set_message" getter="get_message" enum="MIDIMessage" default="0">
+ Returns a value indicating the type of message for this MIDI signal. This is a member of the MIDIMessage enum.
+ For MIDI messages between 0x80 and 0xEF, only the left half of the bits are returned as this value, as the other part is the channel (ex: 0x94 becomes 0x9). For MIDI messages from 0xF0 to 0xFF, the value is returned as-is.
+ Notes will return [code]MIDI_MESSAGE_NOTE_ON[/code] when activated, but they might not always return [code]MIDI_MESSAGE_NOTE_OFF[/code] when deactivated, therefore your code should treat the input as stopped if some period of time has passed.
+ For more information, see the MIDI message status byte list chart linked above.
</member>
<member name="pitch" type="int" setter="set_pitch" getter="get_pitch" default="0">
+ The pitch index number of this MIDI signal. This value ranges from 0 to 127. On a piano, middle C is 60, and A440 is 69, see the "MIDI note" column of the piano key frequency chart on Wikipedia for more information.
</member>
<member name="pressure" type="int" setter="set_pressure" getter="get_pressure" default="0">
+ The pressure of the MIDI signal. This value ranges from 0 to 127. For many devices, this value is always zero.
</member>
<member name="velocity" type="int" setter="set_velocity" getter="get_velocity" default="0">
+ The velocity of the MIDI signal. This value ranges from 0 to 127. For a piano, this corresponds to how quickly the key was pressed, and is rarely above about 110 in practice.
