Maximum MIDI, C++ Programming Guide for Win 95
January 1, 1997Maximum MIDI: Music Applications in C++ is the programmer's definitive
source of information for developing MIDI-based Windows 95 programs.
MIDI-- Musical Instrument Digital Interface-- connects sound cards, musical
instruments such as keyboards and guitars, and computers in order to make
music. MIDI-based music programs can play music, teach music theory and
technique, provide games multimedia titles with exciting scores, and allow
musicians to record, edit, play, and print compositions.
The book begins with the basics of how MIDI works and then builds to more
advanced topics, including high-resolution timing, tape synchronization,
Standard MIDI Files, and multi-track playback. Each subject is explored
thoroughly--nothing is sidestepped or skimmed over. A ToolKit of routines--
including an extensive set of C++ classes-- accompanies the book.
Over a dozen example programs, along with all of the ToolKit's source code,
give programmers everything they need to develop royalty-free, world-class
MIDI applications.
The "Maximum MIDI" book will be shipping in August. If you'd like a reminder
