WildMidi_Init(3)

✨ WildMidi_Init — the "wake up bestie" function ✨

okay so this is WildMidi_Init(3), and it lives in the WildMidi Programmer's Manual. It's the literal first thing you call, the vibe-setter, the "good morning gorgeous" of libWildMidi 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

WildMidi_Init — Initialize the library

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libWildMidi

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <wildmidi_lib.h>

WildMidi_Init (const char *config_file, uint16_t rate, uint16_t options)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically this function initializes libWildMidi and gets it all prepped and pretty for playback. And here's the slay: you only need to call it once in the program that's using libWildMidi. One and done, no cap. 🔥

• config-file — the file that holds the instrument configuration for the library. It's giving "here's where all the sounds live."
• rate — the sound rate you want the audio data output at. The rates libWildMidi accepts are 11025 - 65000. Anything outside that range? Not invited to the party. 🙈
• options — the initial options you wanna set for the library. See below, bestie, there's a whole menu. ⬇️
  • WM_MO_LOG_VOLUME — by default the library uses linear volume levels, which is the typical thing computer MIDI players do. But those can differ somewhat from the volume levels you'd find on some midi hardware, which may use a volume curve based on decibels. This option sets the volume levels to what you'd expect on such devices. Fancy hardware energy. 🎚️
  • WM_MO_ENHANCED_RESAMPLING — by default libWildMidi uses linear interpolation for resampling the sound samples. Setting this option lets the library use a resampling method that attempts to fill in the gaps, giving you richer sound. It's giving "glow up for your audio." ✨
  • WM_MO_REVERB — libWildMidi has an 8 reflection reverb engine. Use this option to give more depth to the output. Main character ambience, literally. 🌈
  • WM_MO_WHOLETEMPO — ignores the fractional or decimal part of a tempo setting. If you're having timing issues, try WM_MO_ROUNDTEMPO before trying this option. This option was added because some software doesn't support the fractional tempos that the MIDI specification allows. Rude of them but okay. 💀
  • WM_MO_ROUNDTEMPO — rounds the fractional or decimal part of a tempo setting. Try this option if you're having timing issues, and if this fails then try WM_MO_WHOLETEMPO. This option was added because some software doesn't support the fractional tempos that the MIDI specification allows. Same drama, different fix. 🫶
