A C++ library that adds MIDI input/output communication to Arduino boards, supporting all MIDI message types including System messages, SysEx, and Clock. It supports multiple transports (serial, USB, Bluetooth, IP/AppleMIDI) and features callbacks, software thru with filtering, and multiple MIDI interfaces.

Use cases

• send and receive MIDI messages on an Arduino
• build a MIDI controller with Arduino
• read incoming MIDI notes from a keyboard
• create a MIDI merger or splitter
• send SysEx messages over MIDI
• use MIDI over USB or Bluetooth with Arduino
• handle MIDI input with callbacks

When to choose

• you need MIDI I/O on any Arduino or AVR-based board
• you want support for all MIDI message types including SysEx and clock
• you need multiple transports like serial, USB, Bluetooth, or IP
• you want configurable, template-based settings and multiple MIDI interfaces

When to avoid

• you need MIDI on a non-Arduino platform
• you need USB MIDI host features moved to the separate Arduino-USB-MIDI repository
• you need high-level music sequencing rather than raw MIDI messaging
