Tame the Web MIDI API. Send and receive MIDI messages with ease. Control instruments with user-friendly functions (playNote, sendPitchBend, etc.). React to MIDI input with simple event listeners (noteon, pitchbend, controlchange, etc.).
WEBMIDI.js makes it easy to interact with MIDI instruments directly from a web browser or from
Node.js. It simplifies the control of physical or virtual MIDI instruments with user-friendly
functions such as playNote(), sendPitchBend() or sendControlChange(). It also allows reacting
to inbound MIDI messages by adding listeners for events such as "noteon", "pitchbend" or"programchange".
In short, the goal behind WEBMIDI.js is to get you started with your web-based MIDI project as quickly
and efficiently as possible.
The official website site is the best place to get started. Over there,
