The Vdsp can take either Real Time MIDI or MID file. The SFEMP3Shield driver does not support RealTime. There is another library that I have used that will do RealTime. I forget its name and have not integrated into this. Where I have played MID files. I recall that the Vdsp can only take one of the flavors of MID files. I needed to convert it. I forget that to, it was 18 months ago.
I am not a music person, so I have no MIDI experience, to know what needs to be done.
What is the Arduino Shield that you state is not polyphonic?
I would review VLSI’s forum to find out what you want to do. It may take some digging, but I suspect it has been asked and answered there. And if not they typically reply with helpful response after a few days. Just need to go back and occasionally check. Once you determine what is needed, then we can possibly help add that to this library.
