MIDI functionality? If so can I use with Win32 Console app?
« on: October 30, 2015, 02:49:52 pm »
Hey everyone, I'm new so thought I'd say hi first :)

Someone pointed me in the direction of SFML for a university assignment i'm writing. It's basically a Win32 console app for a simple music sequencer. Currently I'm using system beep to play the melodies but this has it's limitations.

Does SFML have an MIDI functionality and if so, can i use it with a console app?

Thanks,

Paul

Obviously, I need to state i'm coding in C++ (which is why i posted in this forum and not the general one) :)

No, SFML can't do MIDI. But there's a project that add this functionality: sfMIDI.

This is really not clear. Are you trying to say that you're coding in C++ with the CSFML binding (which this sub-forum is for), or did you mistakenly thought that the C forum was for the C++ language?

Hey :)

Yeah i presumed the C was for C++ in this forum, so my apologies. I'm new to C++ so don't know all the terminology as yet :)

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of sfMIDI. I'll check it out.

This is for a uni assignment so hence the Win32 console app, I'd rather do a full windows app obviously..
