As an alternative, you can use PortMIDI. It's a fairly simple API and
I would recommend it.

Subject: Re: [LAD] Realtime MIDI programming?

Hey,

I'd advise C++ & RtMidi if you've done any OOP before, I started out with that combination,
there are some good examples on the RtMidi webpage.

It provides a MIDI interface on all of Linux-Mac-PC, so its cross-platform.

And I'd advise you to start with "normal" scheduling (I've never coded an RT app, but MIDI apps works
100% realtime for me without any upgrading of priority).

Good luck, -Harry

Hi,

I'm looking into doing some real time MIDI programming with either C++
or Common lisp.

I would specifically not schedule anything but deliver everything as
"play it right now" notes.

Is it necessary to use realtime scheduling the way JACK does?

Or is it ok to use normal "user mode" programs?

Your expert advice much appreciated!

Carlo
