Forbidden Planet (1956) is considered to be the first movie with an entire electronic soundtrack, composed by Bebe and Louis Barron.

Added

  • An example/README.md file presenting each example, with links to listen the OGG files.
  • example/la_folia.f90: variations on La Folia, demonstrating the use of the method play_broken_chord().
  • A method play_broken_chord(), using an array containing the intervals to play, was added in the MIDI_file_class. For the moment, each note has the same duration.
  • A method get_name() returns the MIDI filename.
  • src/utilities.f90: offers miscellaneous functions, like checked_int8().
  • A ROADMAP.md file.
  • A logo/ directory.

Changed

  • OOP refactoring: src/formidi.f90 is now MIDI_file_class.f90.
    • The API was simplified by renaming many methods and arguments, and by removing the need to use int8, int16 or int32 integers: the user will now just use default kind integers. More simplifications:
    • init_formidi() is now automatically called when you create a MIDI file.
    • The size_pos variable is now automatically managed by the object.
    • The tempo and copyright (optional) are now passed to the construction new() method.
    • A text_event (optional) can now be passed to the new() and track_header() methods.
    • The track name is now passed to the track_header() method.
    • The metadata track is now closed automatically at the end of the new() method.
    • The subroutine write_chord() (renamed play_chord()) was moved in the MIDI_file_class.
    • The method Note() was split in two: Note_ON() and Note_OFF().
  • Examples:
    • src/demos.f90 was removed and split into example/third_kind.f90,
      example/canon.f90, example/blues.f90 and example/circle_of_fifths.f90. They can be run with the fpm run --example command.
    • In examples, keyword argument lists are now generally used to improve understanding and comments were added.
    • The multi-tracks examples canon.f90, blues.f90 and la_folia.f90 now uses the control change Pan to obtain a stereo effect.
  • src/music.f90 was splitted in two files: src/music.f90 and src/music_common.f90 which contain music theory elements common to the ForMIDI and ForSynth projects.
  • The function get_MIDI_note() (renamed MIDI_note()) was moved in src/music.f90.
  • build.sh improved.

Removed

  • app/main.f90 was removed.

Fixed

  • example/blues.f90: the note_OFF events of the drums were not correctly placed.
