could i send "real" raw midi byte data to [midiparse], dumped from a 

midifile thru a Java class ? Or is a "tweaked raw format" needed ?

Midiparse reads raw MIDI data. But a MIDI file isn't raw MIDI data, 

Maybe were talking at cross-purposes, but "raw MIDI data" has always 

meant (at least for me) the MIDI Spec published by the MMA and JMA: 

MIDI _as_it_would_come_through_a_MIDI_cable_. MIDI file was a 

proposal made about four years later by Opcode (remember them?) that 

has since gained acceptance. But the two aren't the same thing.

Anyway, your Java would have to parse/strip headers and remove delta- 

times and Meta-MIDI from the MIDI file data stream. If you want to 

handle Format 1, you would have to decide if you want to synchronize 

Actually, by the time you've done that, parsing the raw MIDI stream

Midiparse reads raw MIDI data. But a MIDI file isn't raw MIDI data,  
it's delta-time-stamped MIDI data.

times and Meta-MIDI from the MIDI file data stream. If you want to  
handle Format 1, you would have to decide if you want to synchronize  
tracks or what. Etc.

Actually, by the time you've done that, parsing the raw MIDI stream  
yourself is a piece of cake.-)

midi raw to midiparse ?
