In lab, we overcame the roadblocks we had when we first started the project. We figured out that many of the old functions we used in JES that we couldn’t find in JEM were not needed at all. For example, pickAFile wasn’t needed to pick a midi note to play because we could just load the midi file with read.midi(score, “midi note here”). I also finally got a midi note to play in JEM which will now allow me to create my own midi notes and test them in the program. I am working on that right now. We also started to write the code in order to break down and parse the note. We will take characteristics of the midi note such as duration, type of note, and pitch and assign them to create certain shapes visually. The picture attached shows the code written in the steps explained above.
