Struct MidiEvent 

pub struct MidiEvent {
    pub sample_offset: u32,
    pub event: MidiEventKind,
}

A sample-accurate MIDI event.

The sample_offset field specifies when within the current audio buffer this event should be processed, enabling sample-accurate MIDI timing.

Fields

sample_offset: u32

Sample offset within the current buffer (0 = start of buffer).

event: MidiEventKind

The MIDI event data.

Implementations

impl MidiEvent

pub const fn note_on( sample_offset: u32, channel: MidiChannel, pitch: MidiNote, velocity: f32, note_id: NoteId, tuning: f32, length: i32, ) -> Self

Create a new note-on event.

pub const fn note_off( sample_offset: u32, channel: MidiChannel, pitch: MidiNote, velocity: f32, note_id: NoteId, tuning: f32, ) -> Self

Create a new note-off event.

pub const fn poly_pressure( sample_offset: u32, channel: MidiChannel, pitch: MidiNote, pressure: f32, note_id: NoteId, ) -> Self

Create a polyphonic pressure event.

pub const fn control_change( sample_offset: u32, channel: MidiChannel, controller: u8, value: f32, ) -> Self

Create a control change event.

pub const fn pitch_bend( sample_offset: u32, channel: MidiChannel, value: f32, ) -> Self

Create a pitch bend event.

pub const fn channel_pressure( sample_offset: u32, channel: MidiChannel, pressure: f32, ) -> Self

Create a channel pressure event.

pub const fn program_change( sample_offset: u32, channel: MidiChannel, program: u8, ) -> Self

Create a program change event.

pub fn from_midi1_bytes( sample_offset: u32, status: u8, channel: MidiChannel, data1: u8, data2: u8, ) -> Option<Self>

Parse a MIDI 1.0 channel voice message from raw bytes.

This is the standard way to convert raw MIDI bytes (as received from plugin hosts or hardware MIDI) into beamer’s MidiEvent format.

Arguments

• sample_offset - Sample position within the current buffer
• status - MIDI status byte with channel masked out (0x80-0xF0)
• channel - MIDI channel (0-15)
• data1 - First data byte (note number, CC number, etc.)
• data2 - Second data byte (velocity, CC value, etc.)

Returns

Some(MidiEvent) for supported channel voice messages, None for unsupported message types (system messages, etc.)

Supported Messages

Status	Message Type	data1	data2
0x80	Note Off	note number	velocity
0x90	Note On	note number	velocity
0xA0	Poly Pressure	note number	pressure
0xB0	Control Change	CC number	value
0xC0	Program Change	program	(ignored)
0xD0	Channel Pressure	pressure	(ignored)
0xE0	Pitch Bend	LSB	MSB

Notes

• Note On with velocity 0 is converted to Note Off (per MIDI spec)
• Velocities and CC values are normalized: 0-127 → 0.0-1.0
• Pitch bend is normalized: 0-16383 → -1.0 to 1.0 (center at 8192)
• note_id is set to the pitch value for basic voice allocation
• tuning and length default to 0

Example

use beamer_core::MidiEvent;

// Parse a Note On: channel 0, note 60 (middle C), velocity 100
let event = MidiEvent::from_midi1_bytes(0, 0x90, 0, 60, 100);
assert!(event.is_some());

pub fn sysex(sample_offset: u32, data: &[u8]) -> Self

Create a SysEx event.

Note: This allocates the SysEx data on the heap. SysEx messages are relatively rare, so the allocation is acceptable.

pub const fn note_expression_value( sample_offset: u32, note_id: NoteId, expression_type: u32, value: f64, ) -> Self

Create a Note Expression value event.

pub const fn note_expression_int( sample_offset: u32, note_id: NoteId, expression_type: u32, value: u64, ) -> Self

Create a Note Expression integer event.

pub fn note_expression_text( sample_offset: u32, note_id: NoteId, expression_type: u32, text: &str, ) -> Self

Create a Note Expression text event.

Note: This is not const because it initializes the fixed-size buffer.

pub fn chord_info( sample_offset: u32, root: i8, bass_note: i8, mask: u16, name: &str, ) -> Self

Create a Chord info event.

Note: This is not const because it initializes the fixed-size buffer.

pub fn scale_info(sample_offset: u32, root: i8, mask: u16, name: &str) -> Self

Create a Scale info event.

Note: This is not const because it initializes the fixed-size buffer.

pub fn with(self, kind: MidiEventKind) -> Self

Create a new event with the same timing but different event data.

This preserves the sample_offset while replacing the MidiEventKind. Useful when transforming MIDI events where you’ve already matched on the event type and want to create a modified version.

Arguments

• kind - The new event data

Returns

A new MidiEvent with the same sample_offset but new event data.

Example

MidiEventKind::NoteOn(note_on) => {
    output.push(event.clone().with(MidiEventKind::NoteOn(NoteOn {
        pitch: new_pitch,
        velocity: new_velocity,
        ..*note_on  // Copy channel, note_id, tuning, length
    })));
}

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for MidiEvent

fn clone(&self) -> MidiEvent

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for MidiEvent

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for MidiEvent

fn default() -> Self

Creates a default MidiEvent (NoteOff with all fields zeroed).

Used for buffer initialization. Does not allocate.

impl PartialEq for MidiEvent

fn eq(&self, other: &MidiEvent) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
