The bangs you send to [midifile] set the tempo. [midifile] actually 
ignores the tempo of the midi file and you can play it at whatever speed 
you like by changing the [metro]. For example [metro 1.5] plays twice as 
fast as [metro 3]. Each bang advances the tick count of the midi file by 
one. There is a field in each midi file that specifies how many ticks 
per quarter note, so you can make playback tempo-accurate by reading 
that value and setting the metro accordingly, at least if you know which 
notes are quarter notes ;)
The right outlet of [midifile] outputs status from the file including 
ticks_per_quarternote and microsec_per_quarternote.
