As part of my RA job, I was required to write a program to play
standard MIDI files. The program I wrote and Cakewalk (Version 3)
play the same pieces with different speeds (my program plays slower).
What would be the reason for this difference? For timing I use
the following information provided in the standard MIDI files:
1. ppq (pulses/beats per quarter note).
2. duration of a quarter note (in microsecs).
3. delta time: this info is provided before each MIDI event,
and I am assuming that its unit is one beat. The program waits
this amount of time before sending the MIDI event to the tone
generator.
I'll appreciate any comments or references.
