- I had problems programming MIDI using SAS C as it didn't seem to wait
- for MIDI messages to finish being sent before continuing. I haven't tried
- using the midi.library yet, but I'm currently programming a complex MIDI
- program in E and have had no problems.
-
- Its dead easy: filehandle:=Open('SER:',OLDFILE)
- Out(filehandle,byte)
- .........
- Close(filehandle)
- where byte would be a single byte of the MIDI message.
-
- Hope this helps,
-
- James.
