BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library

radio42.Multimedia.Midi Namespace

BASS.NET API for the Un4seen BASS Audio Library
This namespace contains all classes, delegates and enumerations to support native MIDI communication. This implementation wraps the WINMM.DLL Microsoft Multimedia API library, which is actually not part of BASS, but rather the Microsoft operating system. So it is not to be confused with the BassMidi add-on (which about real-time playback of MIDI notes and files)!

The main class Midi wraps most common MIDI API calls (like enumerating the MIDI devices and sending or receiving MIDI messages) and has been implemented as static methods. These methods might be used to implement your own native MIDI communication. So there is NO need to create an instance of the Midi class!

The other two main objects, which might be even more useful, are the MidiInputDevice and MidiOutputDevice which are real classes and make use of the Midi methods internally. With the MidiShortMessage and MidiSysExMessage classes you might create (encode, pack) or read (decode, unpack) any Midi data or system-exclusive message. Alltogether they handle effective communication with MIDI ports (like sending and reveiving any kind of message). Those classes need to be instantiated before their use.

Classes

  ClassDescription
Public classMidi
This class represents the general Win32 MIDI Functions and Constants.

Requires: winmm.dll - Microsoft Multimedia Win32 library.

Public classMIDI_HEADER
Represents a wrapper for the Windows Multimedia MIDIHDR structure.
Public classMIDI_INCAPS
Represents MIDI input device capabilities as returned by the MIDI_InGetDevCaps(Int32, MIDI_INCAPS) method.
Public classMIDI_OUTCAPS
Represents MIDI output device capabilities as returned by the MIDI_OutGetDevCaps(Int32, MIDI_OUTCAPS) method.
Public classCode exampleMidiInputDevice
This class handles all communication with a Midi input device.
Public classMidiMessageEventArgs
EventArgs class to be passed as the second parameter of a MessageReceived or MessageReceived event handler.
Public classCode exampleMidiOutputDevice
This class handles all communication with a Midi output device.
Public classCode exampleMidiShortMessage
This class represents a Midi short (data) message as for example received in a MIM_DATA message of a MIDIINPROC.
Public classCode exampleMidiSysExMessage
This class represents a Midi system-exclusive message as for example received in a MIM_LONGDATA message of a MIDIINPROC or as being used with the MIDI_OutLongMsg(IntPtr, IntPtr) and returned back in the MIDIOUTPROC with the MOM_DONE message.
Structures

  StructureDescription
