the friend group, the squad, the ones she rolls with:

  • play_midi(3) — the one who actually starts the party 🎉
  • stop_midi(3) — the one who ends it, no survivors 💀
  • midi_resume(3) — the one who says "okay breathe again" after midi_pause 🫶
  • midi_seek(3) — the one who jumps around the track like she owns it ✨
  • exmidi(3) — the example, the demo, the proof it works 🌈
heads up bestie: if you pause her, remember midi_resume(3) exists. don't leave your MIDI hanging like that, it's rude. 🙈
