MIDI - play a note?

I'm trying to do some of the stuff I used to be able to do on the old Commodore 64...

I've read this http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/lowmidi.htm

but a lot of it is still over my head..

Using dev-C++ under XP, how can I just play a note? Once I've got that, I can take it from there but I can't seem to get started.

Incidentally, I've got Petzold's book here but it's really thick and I'm impatient! :rolleyes:

Here's a little sample program for 'ya. I think I got all of the information about how to do this from the same "borg" site you referenced...

Thanks, Doug...


I saw this in my board searches but I couldn't get it to run, can I do it in DevC++?

I've got VC++.NET but I got stumped and retreated to DevC++ while I continue to study in my 'spare time'.

THANKS -

You cant run it because it doesn't compile. This is easily fixed by changing iostream.h to iostream and then adding
using namespace std; //or alternative
Also remember to link winmm.lib

Got it, thanks!
