- Get "Standard MIDI File Programmer's Reference" by Music Quest,
- (214)881-7408 for code
-
- Get "The Musician's Guide to MIDI", Christion Braut, ISBN 0-7821-1285-4
-
- Also, for Sound Blaster, "The Ultimate Sound Blaster Book" is a good
- first start (I could sell you mine for 1/2 price) and "The Sound
- Blaster Book", ISBN 1-55755-181-2
