This adds support for the SMMF MIDI message format, cf. https://bitbucket.org/agraef/pd-smmf. It also adds canvas/path search for soundfont files, so that these can be found more easily without having to use absolute pathnames, as well as a few cosmetic changes to help and error messages. In default "legacy" mode, the object is 100% backwards-compatible (except for the soundfont file search), so that existing patches will continue to work without any changes. In SMMF mode, which is invoked with the new -smmf option (used either as a creation argument, or with the "init" message), the SMMF message format can be used to denote MIDI messages. Legacy messages still continue to work in SMMF mode as well, except the "note" and "bend" messages which are used in both formats with the same argument count but different argument order. However, the corresponding shortcuts "n" and "b" of the legacy format still work even in SMMF mode. Rationale: SMMF offers the following advantages over the legacy message interface that fluid~ currently uses: - It covers all MIDI voice messages, as well as system exclusive messages. (Note that sysex support is particularly interesting in the context of fluidsynth because it allows to pass tuning data using sysex messages following the MIDI Tuning Standard (MTS), which fluidsynth readily supports.) - It enforces a close 1-1 correspondence between the Pd MIDI objects and the message format (it uses the same basenames as message selectors, and has the arguments in the right order to easily interface with the Pd MIDI objects). - It is is readily supported by some helper abstractions (midi-input.pd and midi-output.pd, available at https://bitbucket.org/agraef/pd-smmf). - Last but not least, it is compatible with pd-faust and pd-faustgen2 which makes it very easy to integrate Faust- and soundfont-based synthesis in Pd.
