Midi to Micro:bit Sound converter

This app allows you to convert a midi file to the code needed for micro:bit programming

Creating Music with the micro:bit is a hassle. This little app will allow you to take any midi-file and convert it into the list needed for micro:bit.

Installation

Download the files by clicking on code, then on zip or clone the repo locally using

git clone https://github.com/janishutz/midi-micro-bit_sound-converter

Then, run

pip install -r requirements.txt

in the repo's folder (i.e. the folder you just cloned or downloaded and extracted)

Alternatively, create a venv using

python -m venv midi-converter

and activate it using

source ./midi-converter/bin/active

The dependencies of this project are mido, pyperclip, kivymd and kivy[base]

Running

Open a terminal in the file location where you saved / cloned this repo to. Type

python midi_converter.py

to run the app

Notes for Linux users:

On some Linux distros, xclip and xsel don't come pre-installed. Install these dependencies.

Development

Be warned, the code base is still very ugly. I only spent about two hours cleaning up the old code, so it still looks ugly. I will probably not clean up the code much more. Some variable names will simply stay weird
