IDirectMusicPortDownload

The IDirectMusicPortDownload interface allows an application to talk directly to a port that supports DLS downloading, and to download memory chunks directly to the port. The interface is used primarily by authoring applications that directly edit DLS instruments. For an overview, see Low-Level DLS.

To obtain the IDirectMusicPortDownload interface, call the IDirectMusicPort::QueryInterface method, passing in IID_IDirectMusicPortDownload as the interface GUID. If the port does not support DLS downloading, this call might fail.
