    Midi Programming

    Hello all,

    Had a browse around google, but couldn't find any good examples of midi programming with object pascal. Does anyone have any good resources for using MIDI with FPC(or even Delphi)? I want to make a simple sound synthiser, so I've read MIDI is the way to go. Can I use OpenAL or FMOD to utilise the MIDI format?

    Thanks for any help.

    Is midi programming that scary?

    There is a component for Delphi called TMidiGen. As far as I know it is free and includes source:

    It?¢_Ts not clear what you mean by midi programming. A decent sound synthesizer is actually pretty hard to write, even more so if you want it to accurately process midi events. Writing a midi file generator and playing it on what you can would be easier, but you?¢_Td still have to read up quite a bit on its format and besides midi files sound cheesy at best and quite different on different hardware.

    FMOD will play MIDI files easily enough.

    Okay, thanks for your replies everyone.

    I suppose I'll just have to keep on searching.
