New, advanced MIDI desk reference is perfect for programmers and MIDI power
users. The heart of the book is a summary and explanation of every MIDI
command, in hex, binary, decimal and English. Also features detailed
discussion of software design concerns, synchronization formats, MTC,
sample dump, MIDI files and system exclusive processing.
It discusses writing software to handle MIDI information at the application
level. In other words, they assume you have already written or otherwise
obtained access to the necessary code to talk to your hardware to send and
receive the MIDI data. This approach frees the entire discussion from
being tied to any particular hardware or programming approach. Instead, it
spends its time on that which is valuable to the experienced programmer.
Issues such as MIDI file format, timing (SMPTE, MTC, etc), parsing MIDI
data and processing it, MIDI sample dump standard, etc. are all handled in
fine detail.
