MIDI FILES

Post by CLAUDIUS »

Is it possible to write with QuickBasic MIDI FILES?If so,does it exist a tutorial or some examples somewhere?
What I ve seen is a treatment by QB of already existing Midi files and I'm looking to create those Midi files directly from the computer.

Yes, it is possible. I've done it.

I know this is several months late, but I haven't been here that long and don't come here very often.
Do searches for things like "General MIDI file format"

If you are interested in seeing an imcomplete MIDI writer that inputs text files in a format I invented, then email me.

BASIC AND MIDI

In fact at the beginning I was frustrated not being able to write directly and simultaneously several staves with the command PLAY.
So I made several combinations with the letters A,B,C , C+ etc, used in PLAY thinking to transfer and translate results on a MIDI dedicated soft and wandered if it was really utopistic to transform that table in MIDI codes directly to avoid the transcription.
Looks that not many people are interested by the subject indeed.
