This very simple package provides useful constants derived from official MIDI specifications available at:
- MIDI Association, ex MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) [US]: https://midi.org
- Association of Musical Electronics Industry (AMEI) [JP]: https://www.amei.or.jp/
- MIDI Standard Committee (MSC) [JP]: http://amei.or.jp/midistandardcommittee
Already covers most of the MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification v4.2.1 from February 1996.
Other specifications will be added along the way.
Contributions welcome!
