=head1 NAME

MIDI::Event - MIDI events

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # Dump a MIDI file's text events
  die "No filename" unless @ARGV;
  use MIDI;  # which "use"s MIDI::Event;
  MIDI::Opus->new( {
     "from_file" => $ARGV[0],
     "exclusive_event_callback" => sub{print "$_[2]\n"},
     "include" => \@MIDI::Event::Text_events
   } ); # These options percolate down to MIDI::Event::decode
  exit;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Functions and lists to do with with MIDI events and MIDI event structures.

An event is a list, like:

  ( 'note_on', 141, 4, 50, 64 )

where the first element is the event name, the second is the
delta-time, and the remainder are further parameters, per the
event-format specifications below.

An I<event structure> is a list of references to such events -- a
"LoL".  If you don't know how to deal with LoLs, you I<must> read

For your use in code (as in the code in the Synopsis), this module
provides a few lists:

=over

=item @MIDI_events

a list of all "MIDI events" AKA voice events -- e.g., 'note_on'

=item @Text_events

a list of all text meta-events -- e.g., 'track_name'

=item @Nontext_meta_events

all other meta-events (plus 'raw_data' and F-series events like
'tune_request').

=item @Meta_events

the combination of Text_events and Nontext_meta_events.

=item @All_events

the combination of all the above lists.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

This module provides three functions of interest, which all act upon
event structures.  As an end user, you probably don't need to use any
of these directly, but note that options you specify for
MIDI::Opus->new with a from_file or from_handle options will percolate
down to these functions; so you should understand the options for the
first two of the below functions.  (The casual user should merely skim
this section.)

=over

=item MIDI::Event::decode( \$data, { ...options... } )

This takes a I<reference> to binary MIDI data and decodes it into a
new event structure (a LoL), a I<reference> to which is returned.
Options are:

=over 16

=item 'include' => LISTREF

I<If specified>, listref is interpreted as a reference to a list of
event names (e.g., 'cue_point' or 'note_off') such that only these
events will be parsed from the binary data provided.  Events whose
names are NOT in this list will be ignored -- i.e., they won't end up
in the event structure, and they won't be each passed to any callbacks
you may have specified.

=item 'exclude' => LISTREF

I<If specified>, listref is interpreted as a reference to a list of
event names (e.g., 'cue_point' or 'note_off') that will NOT be parsed
from the binary stream; they'll be ignored -- i.e., they won't end up
in the event structure, and they won't be passed to any callbacks you
may have specified.  Don't specify both an include and an exclude
list.  And if you specify I<neither>, all events will be decoded --
this is what you probably want most of the time.  I've created this
include/exclude functionality mainly so you can scan a file rather
efficiently for just a few specific event types, e.g., just text
events, or just sysexes.

=item 'no_eot_magic' => 0 or 1

See the description of C<'end_track'>, in "EVENTS", below.

=item 'event_callback' => CODEREF

If defined, the code referred to (whether as C<\&wanted> or as
C<sub { BLOCK }>) is called on every event after it's been parsed into
an event list (and any EOT magic performed), but before it's added to
the event structure.  So if you want to alter the event stream on the
way to the event structure (which counts as deep voodoo), define
'event_callback' and have it modify its C<@_>.

=item 'exclusive_event_callback' => CODEREF

Just like 'event_callback'; but if you specify this, the callback is
called I<instead> of adding the events to the event structure.  (So
the event structure returned by decode() at the end will always be
empty.)  Good for cases like the text dumper in the Synopsis, above.

=back

=item MIDI::Event::encode( \@events, {...options...})

This takes a I<reference> to an event structure (a LoL) and encodes it
as binary data, which it returns a I<reference> to.  Options:

=over 16

=item 'unknown_callback' => CODEREF

If this is specified, it's interpreted as a reference to a subroutine
to be called when an unknown event name (say, 'macro_10' or
something), is seen by encode().  The function is fed all of the event
(its name, delta-time, and whatever parameters); the return value of
this function is added to the encoded data stream -- so if you don't
want to add anything, be sure to return ''.

If no 'unknown_callback' is specified, encode() will C<warn> (well,
C<carp>) of the unknown event.  To merely block that, just set
'unknown_callback' to C<sub{return('')}>

=item 'no_eot_magic' => 0 or 1

Determines whether a track-final 0-length text event is encoded as
a end-track event -- since a track-final 0-length text event probably
started life as an end-track event read in by decode(), above.

=item 'never_add_eot' => 0 or 1

If 1, C<encode()> never ever I<adds> an end-track (EOT) event to the
encoded data generated unless it's I<explicitly> there as an
'end_track' in the given event structure.  You probably don't ever
need this unless you're encoding for I<straight> writing to a MIDI
port, instead of to a file.

=item 'no_running_status' => 0 or 1

If 1, disables MIDI's "running status" compression.  Probably never
necessary unless you need to feed your MIDI data to a strange old
sequencer that doesn't understand running status.

=back

Note: If you're encoding just a single event at a time or less than a
whole trackful in any case, then you probably want something like:

          $data_r = MIDI::Event::encode(
            [
              [ 'note_on', 141, 4, 50, 64 ]
            ],
            { 'never_add_eot' => 1} );

which just encodes that one event I<as> an event structure of one
event -- i.e., an LoL that's just a list of one list.

But note that running status will not always apply when you're
encoding less than a whole trackful at a time, since running status
works only within a LoL encoded all at once.  This'll result in
non-optimally compressed, but still effective, encoding.

=item MIDI::Event::copy_structure()

This takes a I<reference> to an event structure, and returns a
I<reference> to a copy of it.  If you're thinking about using this, you
probably should want to use the more straightforward

          $track2 = $track->copy

instead.  But it's here if you happen to need it.

=head1 EVENTS AND THEIR DATA TYPES

=head2 DATA TYPES

Events use these data types:

=over

=item channel = a value 0 to 15

=item note = a value 0 to 127

=item dtime = a value 0 to 268,435,455 (0x0FFFFFFF)

=item velocity = a value 0 to 127

=item channel = a value 0 to 15

=item patch = a value 0 to 127

=item sequence = a value 0 to 65,535 (0xFFFF)

=item text = a string of 0 or more bytes of of ASCII text

=item raw = a string of 0 or more bytes of binary data

=item pitch_wheel = a value -8192 to 8191 (0x1FFF)

=item song_pos = a value 0 to 16,383 (0x3FFF)

=item song_number = a value 0 to 127

=item tempo = microseconds, a value 0 to 16,777,215 (0x00FFFFFF)

=back

For data types not defined above, (e.g., I<sf> and I<mi> for
C<'key_signature'>), consult L<MIDI::Filespec> and/or the source for
C<MIDI::Event.pm>.  And if you don't see it documented, it's probably
because I don't understand it, so you'll have to consult a real MIDI
reference.

And these are the events:

Three of the above events are represented a bit oddly from the point
of view of the file spec:

The parameter I<pitch_wheel> for C<'pitch_wheel_change'> is a value
-8192 to 8191, although the actual encoding of this is as a value 0 to
16,383, as per the spec.

Sysex events are represented as either C<'sysex_f0'> or C<'sysex_f7'>,
depending on the status byte they are encoded with.

C<'end_track'> is a bit stranger, in that it is almost never actually
found, or needed.  When the MIDI decoder sees an EOT (i.e., an
end-track status: FF 2F 00) with a delta time of 0, it is I<ignored>!
If in the unlikely event that it has a nonzero delta-time, it's
decoded as a C<'text_event'> with whatever that delta-time is, and a
zero-length text parameter.  (This happens before the
C<'event_callback'> or C<'exclusive_event_callback'> callbacks are
given a crack at it.)  On the encoding side, an EOT is added to the
end of the track as a normal part of the encapsulation of track data.

I chose to add this special behavior so that you could add events to
the end of a track without having to work around any track-final
C<'end_track'> event.

However, if you set C<no_eot_magic> as a decoding parameter, none of
this magic happens on the decoding side -- C<'end_track'> is decoded
just as it is.

And if you set C<no_eot_magic> as an encoding parameter, then a
track-final 0-length C<'text_event'> with non-0 delta-times is left as
is.  Normally, such an event would be converted from a C<'text_event'>
to an C<'end_track'> event with thath delta-time.

Normally, no user needs to use the C<no_eot_magic> option either in
encoding or decoding.  But it is provided in case you need your event
LoL to be an absolutely literal representation of the binary data,
and/or vice versa.

=head1 MIDI BNF

For your reference (if you can make any sense of it), here is a copy
of the MIDI BNF, as I found it in a text file that's been floating
around the Net since the late 1980s.

Note that this seems to describe MIDI events as they can occur in
MIDI-on-the-wire.  I I<think> that realtime data insertion (i.e., the
ability to have E<lt>realtime byteE<gt>s popping up in the I<middle>
of messages) is something that can't happen in MIDI files.

In fact, this library, as written, I<can't> correctly parse MIDI data
that has such realtime bytes inserted in messages.  Nor does it
support representing such insertion in a MIDI event structure that's
encodable for writing to a file.  (Although you could theoretically
represent events with embedded E<lt>realtime byteE<gt>s as just
C<raw_data> events; but then, you can always stow anything
at all in a C<raw_data> event.)

 1.  <MIDI Stream> ::=           <MIDI msg> < MIDI Stream>
 2.  <MIDI msg> ::=              <sys msg> | <chan msg>
 3.  <chan msg> ::=              <chan 1byte msg> |
                                 | <chan 2byte msg>
 4.  <chan 1byte msg> ::=        <chan stat1 byte> <data singlet>
                                   <running singlets>
 5.  <chan 2byte msg> ::=        <chan stat2 byte> <data pair>
                                   <running pairs>
 6.  <chan stat1 byte> ::=       <chan voice stat1 nibble>
                                   <hex nibble>

                                   <hex nibble>
 8.  <chan voice stat1 nyble>::= C | D
 9.  <chan voice stat2 nyble>::= 8 | 9 | A | B | E
