I wouldn't bother to try to write a native R version. Since getting R to talk to compiled C code, is pretty easy, if I wanted to integrate it more closely into R I would take the C code and figure out how I could integrate it into an R package as compiled code with a thin R wrapper around it. Since the code "license" is "public domain", you could even redistribute the package freely. But if it's just for personal use, and you don't need it to be incredibly slick, using it externally (via system()) seems perfectly sensible. > > On 27 December 2012 23:39, Suzen, Mehmet <msu...@gmail.com > <mailto:msu...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > On 27 December 2012 08:46, Greg Hooper <gregstuarthoo...@gmail.com > <mailto:gregstuarthoo...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > thanks Ben - hmm I think I will use a midi/csv utility > > http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/midicsv/ and see how that goes. > Another > > Hi Greg, Yes you are right, It is for wav analysis but as Ben > suggests.
