Chris,
I'm trying to write a patch editor and
librarian for Roland's CM-32L
synth module. This was a repackaged version of the popular MT-32 with 8
part multimbral support, separate drums and a basic reverb facility. The
only controls on the front panel are a power switch and master volume
knob - everything else has to be done via MIDI.
I don't understand why you're re-inventing the wheel ... why don't
you try to write your app using one of the MIDI libs out there which
already work, such as MidiShare for example?
I can't see any obvious glaring problems with your code, but I'd
recommend you try to write your app using an already-working MIDI
library... there's just no point re-inventing a MIDI API for Linux,
the ones that are there already work perfectly well.
He said he was using netbsd. Perhaps its going to be used in some kind of
small portable device?
