source file: mills2.txt Date: Tue, 10 Oct 1995 23:57:03 -0700 Subject: RE: midi files From: Brian Thomson If you need the standard MIDI File format, I would heartily recommend "The File Formats Handbook" by Gunter Born, which has the format, as well as that of WAV files, 1-2-3 files, etc. Published by Thomson (!) Computer Press / ITP, 1995. It's also on the WWW at: http://www.ips.id.ethz.ch/~parish/midi/midi_file_format.txt The easy way of putting it is to describe a SMF as made up of "chunks" - a header chunk with information about the file, followed by chunk after chunk of MIDI information with the time of the event in clock cycles (as taken against the timebase defined in the header chunk).
