Dev C++ Mmsystem.h
| Where I could download its SDK? |
Apr 05, 2010 Try including mmsystem.h after afxwin.h. Afxwin.h actually includes windows.h so you don't need to include it yourself. Because of that treat the afxwin.h the same as windows.h itself. #include //this includes windows.h internally #include h //included here since it has to come after windows.h.
Using PlaySound to Loop Sounds. Winmm.lib is for Microsoft Visual C. For Dev-C, include windows.h and mmsystem.h, then link it with 'libwinmm.a' (which can be found in the Lib directory of Dev-C). Jan 09, 2016 OK, this made me chuckle to see. MMSystem.h is a header file for Windows multimedia functions, introduced in Multimedia Windows 1.0 or Windows 3.1. The name states for 'multimedia system.' A related file is WinMM.h. It looks like you can find som.
Well, you usually obtain the Windows SDK from the Microsoft web site.
A no frills MP3 player class, based on DirectShow. If you need to just play MP3s in your application (for example, play a short MP3 during the application splash screen), Mp3 class is a no frills C MP3/WMA DirectShow player class, for such simple needs.

But, isn't Turbo C++ a 16-bit compiler? (=> see 2nd 'Edit' just below..)
(Edit: which version of Turbo C++ are you using? And do you mean 'Borland Turbo C++' or 'Borland C++' ??)
(Edit: I see the Turbo C++ did make it to 32-bit.. post version 3.0 (with the blue screen). So if you're using version 4.5 (with the grey screen) ??)
To check whether your compile is building 16-bit exes, run an app and keep it running somehow.
Then open up Task Manager, find your app in the 'Applications' list, right-click on it, and select the 'Go to process'. It your app is 16-bit, then the process you go to will be called ntvdm.exe rather than your own apps name.
(NTVDM is the Windows NT Virtual DOS Machine, which is a 32-bit process that hosts 16-bit app on 32-bit version of Windows

PS This question has been raised again and again..
But why on earth does anyone use Turbo C++ these days when far better free alternatives exist? MinGW GCC plus a decent editor would be better!! (prob. with a professor/teacher provided build script/makefile to start with.)
You can access the sound chip to play midi voices using winmm.lib, or in case of Dev C++ the libwinmm.a library. There are 128 midi voices to pick from, anything from the Acoustic Grand Piano = 0 to the Gunshot = 127.

Replaced Mr. Bloat header iostream with the correct cmath header. This brought the exe file size down from 400k to 19k. Sorry about any discommode!

The code works perfect in DEV C++, but it does not for VC++ (I am running Visual Studio 2005).

This is good code, but I am trying to turn my keyboard into a piano for a fun console app (u dont know how boring cubicles are until u live in one). I do graphics (mostly) and have no experience in sound beyond system bells. Can someone provide some simple musical note code?
Thanks for the code, but when I tried to run it (in Dev C++ and Codeblocks) it was having problem with midiOutOpen()
Did I miss something?

Dear Vegaseat,
I am interested to hear music or sound from your midi program using Dev-C++. And I did the following as well:
It is equally suited for delicate vocal as well as dynamic instrument recordings such as lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and horns. Analog Tube Style Channel StripThe Nomad Factory Studio Channel SC-226 is a stereo channel recording plug-in, featuring four band equalizer, an analog 'signature' optical compressor and at the heart of the shelving and bell filters, a tube simulator and Brick-Wall peak limiter designed to reproduce the warmth of vintage recordings with unrivaled quality and realism. The Studio Channel is tube style virtual equalizer / compressor. Studio channel sc-226 vst download.
Project>>Project Options>>Parameters>>Add Lib>>libwinmm.a
I created a console application. In Main.cpp, I pasted your whole program. Managed to compile successfully.
When I executed the compiled program, I got a blank screen with a blinking cursor on the top right hand corner, but no sound output.

What could I have done incorrectly?

thank you vegaseat your snippet up above worked perfectly in my dev c++. I've gone to the 'add to reputation' page where I've left you a nod. thanks again. though .. I was wondering about this BCX that was talked about on an other page I looked at. I've been building things in classic vb6 since 1999 now & was curious to know if this BCX could translate its code to compile some working C/C++ apps. otherwise i might have to migrate over to quick basic if BCX might be finicky about what type of basic code it can translate. I've done some audio work with vb6 and have a certain project where I've 'installed' a directx 8 reference and built a sound generator. It sounds pretty nice, the blending of the multi-oscillator output is very sweet, plus i have added an additional feature that could render a singular *.wav sound. though with all that could be in C/C++ or vb6 programming, I would seriously love to develop VST synth plugins with C/C++. I suppose that would take some time doing, but in any case thanks so much for your midi tutorial I've learned much from it in the time that I've studied it.
though if i could ask for one small favor possibly ? any chance i could find a snippet to allow a windows frame accompanied with buttons to play separate sounds ? and then possibly a selector where different MIDI fonts could be chosen at runtime ? i'm always trying to enhance what i could learn about audio programming. i've built some fairly decent VST plugins in max/msp. ('>www.cycling74.com)
max/msp has helped me to learn much of a different type of visual programming. it is a visual OOP environment, though, it does have its drawbacks/shortcomings to a slight extent. please pardon my sounding a bit greedy for information, i wasnt trying to be,.. though i would love to know as much as i can about EVERYTHING audio where vb6/C/C++ is concerned. and i thank you ever so much for your showing the snippet.

Great solution Vegaseat, I used this code for playing notes by frequency and it was a lot of fun-->
