alCSPSendMidi

 Syntax 
#include <libaudio.h>
void alCSPSendMidi(ALCSPlayer *seqp, long ticks, u8 status, u8 byte1, u8 byte2);

Arguments

  • seqp is the pointer to compressed MIDI sequence player
  • ticks is the time offset in MIDI clock ticks that specifies when the MIDI event is to occur
  • status is the message's MIDI status byte
  • byte1 is the first byte in the message
  • byte2 is the second byte in the message (optional)
Explanation
It sends a MIDI message to the compressed MIDI sequence player. You can use this function to:
  • Trigger notes that are not in the sequence
  • Add controller information in real time
  • Otherwise change the performance of a sequence
You can use this function as an alternative to the alCSPSetChlProgram, alCSPSetChlVol, alCSPSetChlPan, and alCSPSetChlFXMix functions. Note that only channel voice messages are supported. See the MIDI 1.0 specification or any of the various World Wide Web MIDI pages for more information.

Notes
The status byte contains the message type in the high nibble and the channel number in the low nibble. The next bytes are the MIDI data, which is determined by the message type.
