Decouple write feature from std

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 3 comments

Writing is possible without std, but it's currently unavailable without it.
One could imagine embedded devices that need to generate MIDI, so it'd be great to support that use-case.

I'm in favor of decoupling. I've added midly as a dependency to a crate of mine (not specific for embedded) and I don't need parallelization. I have to keep the std feature for midly for writing, but this means adding rayon as a dependency as well, making the crate more heavy-weight.

Done in 0.5.

Also, parallel and std are now separate features, so you can now just disable multithreading while keeping integration with std.

Just curious, but which crate exactly? I'm interested in real-world usage of the library.

I'm using it in rsynth. This is not really "real-world usage" since rsynth is just an abstraction layer. I'm using rsynth together with the tdpsola crate to create an (unpublished) application that re-tunes a sound with a constant pitch to the pitches from the notes from a midi file.
