MIDIHUM

MIDIHUM is a simple command line tool designed to modify midi timing and note velocities slightly by random to humanize a midi song.

Here are some key features of "MIDIHUM":

￭ reads a binary midi file ￭ writes a binary midi file ￭ modifies timing and note velocities randomly ￭ changes machines precision into human variety

When midi songs are recorded by entering notes manually and not playing life on a keyboard, then the notes are usually placed at exact position and all quarternotes have identical length. Key Pressure (note velocity) is then same for whole song. This is how a song is scored but this is not the method how human play a song. Therefore this manual entered songs may sound different, it is too exact and human find might them robotic.

This utility tries to put some random varieties on notes, that should not make severe errors but make the sound more humanized. The errors remain within giving error range, so the song should not play wrong.
