@Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place looks like it might be specific to playing MIDI files which is not quite what I want

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place I feel like https://midish.org/ could be a starting place to chase something down from. @Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place @Doomed_Daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place the native midi library literally wants to play to the OS’s MIDI interfaces, which sucks for several technical reasons. SDL_mixer will decode midi with either a built-in copy of Timidity or FluidSynth, and plays through SDL’s audio (which supports sndio and Haiku’s BSoundPlayer). Maybe useful? https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer
