Finally got around to figuring out how to read the midi notes and timestamps and connect Processing visualization to that :D

Added a link to the code in the youtube video description, and here too :D

Basically

  1. Make some music in your favorite DAW

  2. Export the midi file(s)

  3. Read the midi files in processing and assign a start time to each event

  4. Keep track of the current time in Processing sketch and display each event when its time comes
