MIDIKit

An elegant and modern CoreMIDI wrapper in pure Swift supporting MIDI 1.0 and MIDI 2.0.

• Modular, user-friendly I/O
• Automatic MIDI endpoint connection management and identity persistence
• Strongly-typed MIDI events that seamlessly interoperate between MIDI 1.0 and MIDI 2.0
• Automatically uses appropriate Core MIDI API and defaults to MIDI 2.0 on platforms that support it
• Supports Swift Playgrounds on iPad and macOS
• Full documentation available in Xcode Documentation browser, including helpful guides and getting started information

Abstractions

Over and above I/O and events, MIDI extension abstractions can be found in MIDIKit:

• Reading/writing Standard MIDI Files (SMF)
• Control Surface protocols (HUI, etc.)
• Synchronization protocols (MTC, etc.)

Getting Started

The library is available as a Swift Package Manager (SPM) package.

Use the URL https://github.com/orchetect/MIDIKit when adding the library to a project or Swift package.

See the getting started guide for a detailed walkthrough of how to get the most out of MIDIKit.

Documentation

See the online documentation or view it in Xcode's documentation browser by selecting the Product → Build Documentation menu.

This includes a getting started guide, links to examples, and troubleshooting tips.

System Compatibility

• Xcode 13.0 / macOS 11.3 are minimum requirements to compile

• Once compiled, MIDIKit supports macOS 10.12+ and iOS 10.0+.

  tvOS and watchOS are not supported (as there is no Core MIDI implementation) but MIDIKit will build successfully on those platforms in the event it is included as a dependency in multi-platform projects.
