Simple Midi Parser

A simple midi parser easily modifiable to add functionality or to quickly use to debug midi files

How to use in your project

Copy the SimpleMidiParser.kt file into your codebase. You can then modify the file at your will or simply use it as it is.

Notes Regarding the parser

The parser splits the stream into arrays which contains the header chunk and all the track chunks. If you want to modify how the midi events are parsed you will need to look into the function extractMidiEventsFromByteArray. There is a switch case which looks at the first 4 bit of the status byte of an event and parse it according to its type.
