MIDI Links

These links have provided me with invaluable information when trying to understand MIDI Programming.  Hopefully, if you're just starting out, you'll find them useful too.

The MIDI Manufacturers Association - The MIDI Manufacturers Association (also known as "MMA") is where companies work together to create the standards that assure compatibility among MIDI products. Since 1985 the MMA has produced 11 new specifications and adopted 38 sets of enhancements to MIDI.

MIDI-OX - invaluable (and free!) tool for inspecting testing and saving Sysex.

Using MIDI APIs  (winmm.dll) from the excellent site www.borg.com

MIDI Reference - explains standard MIDI commands recognised by most MIDI hardware

MicroSoft MIDI Reference - Official MS website explaining all the MIDI API calls.  Like most MS documentation, it assumes you already know so much. To me, it only starts to make sense once you already understand (!).

More on Using MIDI APIs (winmm.dll) by Leslie Sanford - includes demo code.
