how does microcontroller store midi files?

[ofnicip]

Hi, I am not very experienced with programming. I am currently working on a midi project and was wondering exactly how i could store my midi files on a PIC chip such that I could read data from the file using PICBasic language.

Many thanks

Hi Hai,

This is maybe not the best place to discuss PICBasic projects or standard MIDI File players, as the MIDIBox project is neither of the above... but you may be able to use the onboard RAM or EEPROM of the PIC, depending on which model, otherwise you would need an external storage device

Good luck

Hi,

here´s a nice little project (record and play MIDI files from a MMC/SD card):

Description is in German and it uses an AVR controller, but perhaps it gives you some inspiration.

Don't know about Basic, but this is about the midi file format specs:
