This example shows how to use the Windows Multimedia DLL to communicate with a MIDI device.
Use the top-level VI to select a MIDI device, channel, patch, volume, and pitch, and to play the note for one second. Intermediate-level VIs include Patch Select, Note On, and Note Off. Low-level VIs include midiOutOpen, midiOutShortMsg, and midiOutClose.
This example is not intended to be a complete MIDI toolkit; its purpose is to help you get started. To extend these VIs, you might need to refer to other Web sites for more information about the MIDI specification and the Microsoft Windows MIDI programming interface.
