I am currently working on a student research project dealing with sound processing. I have been trying to play midi files at a low level, reading and then sending each midi message, but I have found very little documentation on how to do this and even fewer examples. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could point me to some sample code or good documentation. Either Unix or Windows code would be best. I've been trying to teach myself how to use the windows platform sdk midi functions, but withlittle luck.

Manfre,
The SDK and the MSDN Library are the best sources for information about dealing with the MIDI system. If you're REALLY ambitious, you can look into the DirectX SDK.

DirectX sdk doesn't have a low enough interface with the midi system. It sits on top of window's platform sdk (which I have been using) and its midi funtions. The one thing I need more than anything else is sample source to look at (it is the easiest way for me to learn).
