I'm extremely interested in chatting with anybody who has some experience using Kirk Austin's public domain MIDI libraries for Think Pascal. Please drop me a line (via email) if you've used these libraries! -- Victor D.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: use Apple's MIDI Manager. The Kirk Austin routines are extremely limited (one byte at a time, and locked to the Mac event loop), so you'll have to do all the MIDI parsing yourself and will never get decent performance. And, eventually, the routines will break on new hardware and with new system software. |>Victor D.
