Work in progress, not ready for public consumption yet!

This is a Nim wrapper for the RtMidi cross-platform C++ MIDI library. RtMidi provides a common API for realtime MIDI input/output across the following operating systems:

• Linux (ALSA, JACK)
• Mac OS X (CoreMIDI, JACK)
• Windows (Multimedia Library)

The wrapper provides a pleasant Nim interface to the functions provided by the C API.

For more information please refer to the official RtMidi tutorial and check out the Nim examples.

Versioning follows the x.y.z.w scheme, where x.y.z corresponds to the RtMidi version being wrapped (e.g. 4.0.0) and w to the patch version of the Nim wrapper (e.g. 4.4.0.1).

The best way to install the latest version of the package is via nimble:

nimble install rtmidi

Compile and run any of the examples by running the following command in the examples directory:

nim c -r <example>

Alternatively, you can invoke the examples nimble task in the project root directory to compile all examples:

nimble examples

On Windows, the Windows Multimedia Library is always used so there's no need to configure anything.

On OS X, the symbols rtMidiCore or rtMidiJack need to be provided to indicate which API(s) to compile the library for (note that only CoreMIDI has been tested).

On Linux, the symbols rtMidiAlsa or rtMidiJack need to be provided to indicate which API(s) to compile the library for (note that Linux has not been tested at all).
