alSeqpNew
Syntax#include <libaudio.h> void alSeqpNew(ALSeqPlayer *seqp, ALSeqpConfig *config);
Arguments
- seqp is the pointer to the Type 0 MIDI sequence player structure to initialize
- config is the pointer to the sequence player configuration structure
Explanation
It initializes a Type 0 MIDI sequence player (seqp) for the
configuration specified in config, and it signs into the synthesis driver as
a client. Note that it allocates memory from the (initialized) ALHeap
referenced by the config structure.
The arguments in the ALSeqpConfig structure (config) determine how many
resources are allocated from the heap. This structure is defined in
the libaudio.h file. The values are as follows:
- maxVoices is the maximum number of voices to support
- maxEvents is the maximum number of internal events to support
- maxChannels is the maximum number of MIDI channels to support, usually 16, but it can be fewer
- debugFlags are flags used to turn on and turn off the reporting of common audio errors. Set it to zero to turn off error reporting. To turn on error reporting. "OR" together the following values:
- NO_SOUND_ERR_MASK controls error messages that occur when there is no sound that covers the requested sound at the specified pitch.
- NOTE_OFF_ERR_MASK controls error messages that occur when a "note off" occurs when there is no voice currently playing that note on the specified channel.
- NO_VOICE_ERR_MASK controls error messages that occur when there are no more voices available to satisfy the request to allocate a voice.
- *initOsc must point to the procedure that handles the initialization of oscillators used to perform vibrato and tremelo. If vibrato and tremelo are not used, this value
- must be set to zero
- *updateOsc must point to the procedure that handles the updating of oscillators used to perform vibrato and tremelo. If vibrato and tremelo are not used, this value must be set to zero
- *stopOsc must point to the procedure that handles the shutting down of oscillators used to perform vibrato and tremelo. If vibrato and tremelo are not used, this value must be set to zero
- heap is a pointer to an initialized audio heap
Example
An example showing how to set up and use oscillators is given in the Playseq demo application.
