SUMMARY

MIDISX.EXE is a self-extracting file that contains all the source code you need to build a sample application that demonstrates how to implement MIDI device sharing techniques and how to process MIDI system exclusive messages.

Download MIDISX.EXE, a self-extracting file, from the Microsoft Software Library (MSL) on the following services:

  • Microsoft Download Service (MSDL) 

          Dial (206) 936-6735 to connect to MSDL
      Download MIDISX.EXE (size: 41630 bytes)
  • Internet (anonymous FTP) 

          ftp ftp.microsoft.com
      Change to the \softlib\mslfiles directory
      Get MIDISX.EXE (size: 41630 bytes)

MORE INFORMATION

The MIDISX application allows the user to edit a system exclusive message and transmit it to another MIDI device. The application can receive, display, and save to disk up to 64K of returned system exclusive data. MIDI input and output devices are selected from the application menu, and the application implements techniques that allow it to share MIDI devices with other applications. Wrapper functions encapsulate low-level MIDI APIs, handle errors, and simplify application code.
