| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This package provides hooks for working with midi in your React app. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +``` |
| 6 | +npm install --save @react-midi/hooks |
| 7 | +``` |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### `useMIDI()` |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +`useMidi()` requests midi access using the browser's web midi api. |
| 12 | +It returns and array containing MIDI inputs and outputs, respectively, and updates anytime a connection to one of these changes (for example, if an input or output is disconnected or a connection is opened). |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +```js |
| 15 | +const App = () => { |
| 16 | + const [inputs, outputs] = useMIDI(); // Initially returns [[], []] |
| 17 | +}; |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### `useMIDINote(input, {note?, channel?}?)` |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +`useMIDINote()` subscribes to both note on and note off midi messages, optionally filtered by note and/or channel. |
| 23 | +It returns an object `{on, note, velocity, channel}` reflecting the received midi message, updating when a new relevant message is received. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- `on` will be `true` for note on, and `false` for note off |
| 26 | +- `note` will be a MIDI number (60 = C4) |
| 27 | +- `velocity` will be an integer between 0 - 127 |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +```js |
| 30 | +const App = () => { |
| 31 | + const [inputs, outputs] = useMIDI(); |
| 32 | + if (inputs.length < 1) return <div>No MIDI Inputs</div>; |
| 33 | + return <MIDINoteLog input={inputs[0]} />; |
| 34 | +}; |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +const MIDINoteLog = ({ input }) => { |
| 37 | + const event = useMIDINote(input, { channel: 1 }); // Intially returns {} |
| 38 | + const { on, note, velocity, channel } = event; |
| 39 | + return ( |
| 40 | + <div> |
| 41 | + Note {note} {on ? 'on' : 'off'} ({velocity}) on channel {channel} |
| 42 | + </div> |
| 43 | + ); |
| 44 | +}; |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### `useMIDIControl(input, {control?, channel?}?)` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +`useMIDIControl()` subscribes to a control change midi message, optionally filtered by control and/or channel. |
| 50 | +It returns an object `{value, control, channel}` reflecting the received midi message, updating when a new relevant message is received. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +```js |
| 53 | +const App = () => { |
| 54 | + const [inputs, outputs] = useMIDI(); |
| 55 | + if (inputs.length < 1) return <div>No MIDI Inputs</div>; |
| 56 | + return <MIDIControlLog input={inputs[0]} />; |
| 57 | +}; |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +const MIDIControlLog = ({ input }) => { |
| 60 | + const control = useMIDIControl(input, { control: 15, channel: 1 }); // Initially returns {value: 0, control, channel} |
| 61 | + return <div>Value: {control.value}</div>; |
| 62 | +}; |
| 63 | +``` |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### `useMIDIClock(input, division?)` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +`useMIDIClock()` subscribes to the midi clock messages of a given input, with the option to specify a division. |
| 68 | +It returns the number of steps that have occured since the hook began receiving midi clock messages, as well as the play state. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +The division argument can be used to update `steps` only when the number of steps recieved is evenly divisible by given `division`. |
| 71 | +A midi clock message is received 24 times for every quarter note, so if you only wanted to count quarter notes, you could use `useMIDIClock(input, 24)` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +The play state is updated when the input receives a midi play or stop message. |
| 74 | +The steps are reset when the input receives a midi stop message. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +```js |
| 77 | +const App = () => { |
| 78 | + const [inputs, outputs] = useMIDI(); |
| 79 | + if (inputs.length < 1) return <div>No MIDI Inputs</div>; |
| 80 | + return <MIDIClock input={inputs[0]} />; |
| 81 | +}; |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +const MIDIClock = ({ input }) => { |
| 84 | + const [step, isPlaying] = useMIDIClock(input, 12); // initially return [0, false] |
| 85 | + return <div>Eight notes since starting: {step}</div>; |
| 86 | +}; |
| 87 | +``` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +### `useMIDIControls(input, controls, {channel?}?)` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +`useMIDIControls()` subscribes to multiple control change midi message, optionally filtered by channel. |
| 92 | +It returns an array of integers representing the value of controls passed in with the `controls` argument, updating when a new relevant message is received. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +```js |
| 95 | +const App = () => { |
| 96 | + const [inputs, outputs] = useMIDI(); |
| 97 | + if (inputs.length < 1) return <div>No MIDI Inputs</div>; |
| 98 | + return <MIDIControlLog input={inputs[0]} />; |
| 99 | +}; |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +const MIDIControlLog = ({ input }) => { |
| 102 | + const controls = [13, 14, 15]; |
| 103 | + const values = useMIDIControls(input, controls, { channel: 1 }); // Intially returns [0, 0, 0] |
| 104 | + return ( |
| 105 | + <div> |
| 106 | + {controls.map((control) => ( |
| 107 | + <div> |
| 108 | + Control {control}: {values[controls]} |
| 109 | + </div> |
| 110 | + ))} |
| 111 | + </div> |
| 112 | + ); |
| 113 | +}; |
| 114 | +``` |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +### `useMIDINotes(input, {channel?}?)` |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +`useMIDINotes()` subscribes to both note on and note off midi messages, optionally filtered channel. |
| 119 | +It returns an array of active note objects (see above), updating when notes are played or released. |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +```js |
| 122 | +const App = () => { |
| 123 | + const [inputs, outputs] = useMIDI(); |
| 124 | + if (inputs.length < 1) return <div>No MIDI Inputs</div>; |
| 125 | + return <MIDINoteLog input={inputs[0]} />; |
| 126 | +}; |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +const MIDINoteLog = ({ input }) => { |
| 129 | + const notes = useMIDINotes(input, { channel: 1 }); // Intially returns [] |
| 130 | + return ( |
| 131 | + <div>Playing notes: {notes.map((n) => n.note).join(', ')} // Playing notes: 60, 72, 80</div> |
| 132 | + ); |
| 133 | +}; |
| 134 | +``` |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +### `useMIDIMessage(input)` |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +`useMIDIMessage()` subscribes to the general midi message handler of a given input, updating everytime a message is received. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +```js |
| 141 | +const App = () => { |
| 142 | + const [inputs, outputs] = useMIDI(); |
| 143 | + if (inputs.length < 1) return <div>No MIDI Inputs</div>; |
| 144 | + return <MIDILog input={inputs[0]} />; |
| 145 | +}; |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +const MIDINoteLog = ({ input }) => { |
| 148 | + const message = useMIDIMessage(input); // initially return {} |
| 149 | + return ( |
| 150 | + <div> |
| 151 | + Message Data: {message.data ? message.data.join(', ') : ''} // Message Data: 144, 60, |
| 152 | + 100 (Note On, Middle C, Velocity 100) |
| 153 | + </div> |
| 154 | + ); |
| 155 | +}; |
| 156 | +``` |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +### `useMIDIOutput(output)` |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +`useMIDIOutput()` returns function that can be used to send data to the given output. |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +- `noteOn(note, velocity=127, channel=1)`: Sends a note on message to the output, defaulting to a velocity of 127 and channel 1. |
| 163 | +- `noteOff(note, velocity=127, channel=1)`: Sends a note of message to the output, defaulting to a velocity of 127 and channel 1. |
| 164 | +- `cc(value, control, channel=1)`: Sends a midi cc (control change) message to the output, defaulting to channel 1. |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +```js |
| 167 | +const App = () => { |
| 168 | + const [inputs, outputs] = useMIDI(); |
| 169 | + if (inputs.length < 1) return <div>No MIDI Inputs</div>; |
| 170 | + return <MIDIButton output={inputs[0]} />; |
| 171 | +}; |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +const MIDIButton = ({ output }) => { |
| 174 | + const { noteOn, noteOff } = useMIDIOutput(output); |
| 175 | + const handleClick = () => { |
| 176 | + noteOn(60); // Play middle C, using velocity and channel defaults |
| 177 | + setTimeout(() => noteOff(60), 200); // Wait 200ms and then trigger note off. |
| 178 | + }; |
| 179 | + return <div onClick={handleClick}>Click me!</div>; |
| 180 | +}; |
| 181 | +``` |
