* <a href="./js/MIDI.loadPlugin.js">MIDI.loadPlugin.js</a>: Decides which framework is best to use, and sends request.
<pre>
// interface to download soundfont, then execute callback;
MIDI.loadPlugin(callback);
// simple example to get started;
MIDI.loadPlugin({
	instrument: "acoustic_grand_piano", // or 1 (default)
	instruments: [ "acoustic_grand_piano", "acoustic_guitar_nylon" ], // or multiple instruments
	callback: function() { }
});

* <a href="./soundfont/soundfont-ogg.js">MIDI.Soundfont.js</a>: Customizable base64 Soundfont.
* <a href="./js/MIDI.Plugin.js">MIDI.Plugin.js</a>: Ties together the following frameworks;
<pre>
MIDI.noteOn(channel, note, velocity, delay);
MIDI.noteOff(channel, note, delay);
MIDI.chordOn(channel, chord, velocity, delay);
MIDI.chordOff(channel, chord, delay);
MIDI.keyToNote = object; // A0 => 21

* <a href="./js/MIDI.Player.js">MIDI.Player.js</a>: Streams the MIDI to the browser.
 <pre>

MIDI.Player.playing = boolean; // are we playing? yes or no.
MIDI.Player.loadFile(file, callback); // load .MIDI from base64 or binary XML request.
MIDI.Player.start(); // start the MIDI track (you can put this in the loadFile callback)
MIDI.Player.resume(); // resume the MIDI track from pause.
MIDI.Player.pause(); // pause the MIDI track.
MIDI.Player.stop(); // stops all audio being played, and resets currentTime to 0.
<b>Callback whenever a note is played;</b>
MIDI.Player.removeListener(); // removes current listener.
MIDI.Player.addListener(function(data) { // set it to your own function!
	var now = data.now; // where we are now
	var end = data.end; // time when song ends
	var channel = data.channel; // channel note is playing on
	var message = data.message; // 128 is noteOff, 144 is noteOn
	var note = data.note; // the note
	var velocity = data.velocity; // the velocity of the note
	// then do whatever you want with the information!
});
<b>Smooth animation, interpolates between onMidiEvent calls;</b>
MIDI.Player.clearAnimation(); // clears current animation.

	var now = data.now; // where we are now
	var end = data.end; // time when song ends
	var events = data.events; // all the notes currently being processed
	// then do what you want with the information!
