MIDI music file playback in the HTML5 audio era

As we all know, HTML5 audio tag can support WAV, WEBM, MP3, OGG, ACC and other formats, but there is a very important music file format midi (extension mid) But there is no built-in support in the major browsers, Because the mid file does not record the sound's sampled information like other sound files, it records the instrument's performance instructions, which differ in principle.

In order for MIDI to play on HTML5 audio, you need to use JavaScript to handle it.

I recommend here 3 very good JavaScript implementations of audio playback MIDI:

Midi.js-sequencing in Javascript.

This is a JS library that encapsulates a number of interfaces to facilitate web developer calls to play mid music files.

　　

Color Piano V2

This is a color piano, you can play it manually, or you can automatically play a dynamically loaded mid file.

　　

Audiotool

This is a powerful electronic music synthesis tool, without a bit of instrumental knowledge, may not understand the basic use, such as me.
