DirectMidi.net was written as an open-source wrapper to the DirectMidi library
Edit by : DirectMidi.net was written as an open-source wrapper to the DirectMidi library (itself, of course, being a wrapper to the DirectMusic library). As such, it is of course open to anyone who wants to make modifications. Suggestions are, however, welcome; as of July 19, 2007 (the release of version 0.9.1), I have completed the level of functionality I think I need for my own application; therefore, Im sure Ill find something new I need ;), but barring that this library may be in bugfix mode.

The major goal was to make applications developed in C++ be able to have the DirectMidi portion ported over to C# as seamlessly as possible. As such, the C++ namespace directmidi was replaced with the .net namespace DirectMidi, but all classes , enumerations, and structures retained their names. In addition, DirectX structures referenced by the API were duplicated (as value classes where possible, reference classes if needed) with the same name in the DirectMidi namespace. Enumerations and defined values were also duplicated, and where possible their names are close to the same; due to .nets requirement of having all values part of a class or enumeration, however, some logical rearrangement was necessary, for example: you can free download DirectMidi.net 2.3b 0.9.1 now.
