This library adds MIDI I/O communications to an Arduino board.
### Features
- **New** : USB MIDI Device support with [`MIDIUSB`](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/MIDIUSB).
- Compatible with all Arduino boards (and clones with an AVR processor).
- Simple and fast way to send and receive every kind of MIDI message (including all System messages, SysEx, Clock, etc..).
- OMNI input reading (read all channels).
- Software Thru, with message filtering.
- [Callbacks](https://github.com/FortySevenEffects/arduino_midi_library/wiki/Using-Callbacks) to handle input messages more easily.
- Last received message is saved until a new one arrives.
- Configurable: [overridable template-based settings](https://github.com/FortySevenEffects/arduino_midi_library/wiki/Using-custom-Settings).
- Create more than one MIDI interface for mergers/splitters applications.
- Use any serial port, hardware or software.
### Getting Started
1. Use the Arduino Library Manager to install the library.
![Type "MIDI" in the Arduino IDE Library Manager](res/library-manager.jpg)
2. Start coding:
```c++
#include <MIDI.h>
// Create and bind the MIDI interface to the default hardware Serial port
MIDI_CREATE_DEFAULT_INSTANCE();
void setup()
{
MIDI.begin(MIDI_CHANNEL_OMNI); // Listen to all incoming messages
}
void loop()
{
// Send note 42 with velocity 127 on channel 1
MIDI.sendNoteOn(42, 127, 1);
// Read incoming messages
MIDI.read();
}
```
3. Read the [documentation](#documentation) or watch the awesome video tutorials from [Notes & Volts](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4_gPbvyebyH2xfPXePHtx8gK5zPBrVkg).
