TURBOMIDI PROGRAMMING


Introducing TurboMidi  1.0!   Have you ever  wanted to create  an 
application  that turned your pitch bend wheel into a mod  wheel?  
Have  you  ever wanted a librarian that could  store  the  latest 
patch  that  you made on your MIDI instrument? Now  you   can  do 
this and also create MIDI effects,  editors  and sequencers.
TurboMidi   was  created  to  help  you,  the  programmer,   make  
MIDI  applications.    TurboMidi can help you  create  everything 
from  simple midi  mapping  to an 8 track sequencer that you  can 
use  in  your applications.  TurboMidi consists of several  Turbo 
Pascal Units (TPU) that  you  simply  "use"  in your  application  
to  give  it  MIDI "hooks."  TPU's are provided for Turbo  Pascal 
4.0 and 5.0.

What do the units contain?

Simply everything needed to get you started in the world of  MIDI
programming!   TurboMidi has many routines for MIDI control,  the 
main routines are listed here.


Lowlevel MPU Operations

These routines let you communicate to the MPU in "smart" mode.

PutData()   Send a byte of data to the MPU.
GetData()   Get a byte of data from the MPU
FlushData() Clear the MPU's internal data buffers.
ResetMpu()  Reset the MPU to power up mode.
PutCmd()    Give the MPU a command.

These routines let you communcate to the MPU in UART mode.

UPutData()   Send a byte of data to the MPU.
UGetData()   Get a byte of data from the MPU
UFlushData() Clear the MPU's internal data buffers.
UResetMpu()  Reset the MPU to power up mode.
UPutCmd()    Give the MPU a command.
SetupUART()  Setup UART mode environment.

Send Operations

These routines send MIDI information to your MIDI device.

SendNoteOn()     Send a note on message to MIDI device.
SendNoteOff()    Send a note off message to MIDI device.
SendPB()         Send a pitch bend message to the MIDI device.
SendCtrl()       Send a controller message to the MIDI device.
SendPC()         Send a patch change message to the MIDI device.
SendSys()        Send a system exclusive message.
SendAT()         Send after touch message.

Environment Routines.

These  routines automatically set up MIDI environments  for  your 
application.

OPENTMIDI()            Sets up TurboMidi environment.
CLOSETMIDI()           Terminates TurboMidi environment.
SetupSysEx()           Sets up automatic sysex librarian.
OpenMidiTerminal()     Sets up real-time MIDI processing 
environment.

Sequencer Routines()

These routines allow you to create an 8 track sequencer.

PlayTracks()
StopPlay()
WfnRec()
RecordTrack()
StopRecord()
Overdub()
StopOverDub()
LeadIn()
QtoTrack()

Algorithmic Routines

Input Queue Routines

ResetQ
ShowQ
GetFromQ
ReadMIDI()
PutInQ()

TurboMidi  also  includes  many  sample  programs  that  let  you 
examine/change  and  use  any  routine  included  in  the  sample 
programs.   There are no royalties on applications  created  with 
TurboMidi!   The samples include a simple ear  training  program, 
MIDI  monitor,   simple MIDI librarian,  simple  sequencers,  and 
algorithmic  generators.   You can start writing  your  TurboMidi 
application right away!


What you need to create TurboMidi applications:

An IBM-PC, AT or strict compatible with at least 256K of RAM. 
A Roland MPU-401 MIDI interface.
Turbo Pascal 4.0 or 5.0.
A MIDI device.

TurboMidi consists of:
 Turbo Pascal Units for Turbo Pascal 4 and 5.
 Many sample program applications.
 Tutorials taking you through the many TurboMidi applications.
 Reference manual that describes the TurboMidi applications in
 detail.
