need an Audio Engine

cpprules · Post by **cpprules** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 3:15 pm

I know all about Audiere, it's very cool just that it doesn't supports MIDI. I need MIDI ver badly. I tryed OpenAL ( too complicated ), FMod, Bass ( commercial ).
Is there any way to play midi, like a small engine just for midii. Or another engine that supports midi.
midi, midi, midi...

i've started developing a sound engine based off of dx9 for my project, it plays midi. you can check it out if you would like:

if you have any questions about it ask away.

If you know audiere, plz help me with this which noone seemes to have a clue about:

I can only create individual sounds and load them at the same time as I create the "holder" for the sound. I wanna do arrays, something like:

suitalbeAudiereSoundClass * walksound[100];

walksound[0]->loadSample("spagetti.wav");
walksound[1]->loadSample("cucumber.wav");

Is it possible? How else can I add sounds belonging to a certain class etc and then load/unload it somewhere else...

Thanks!

Have the same problem, although i have a small clue:

OutputStreamPtr something[42];
something[0] = OpenSound(bla,bla,bla); // Open Sound returns OutputStreamPtr
something[0]->play();
bla bla

// is there any way to reload a file, and not to create a totaly new variable ?

Hmm
Why is tne most basic and needed thing so hard to do? Is there no audiere forum or communities? Should be but I cannot find any...

Yeah I know sorry.

I just don't get this communities obsessions with 2d and OLD style games.

You give people a 3d graphics engine and what do they build?

appearently they rebuild sonic.. instead of digging through the dusty old crap in the basement and play it again for an hour.

I understand some of you don't care what you build and just want practice but damn does everyone just want to play old crap??

then again maybe you aren't one of those 2d'ers ..

seems to me if there isn't a midi player then there is a good reason.
isn't midi what .wave is?? isn't .wave like 3 times bigger then anything else?

you just want the cellphone tone music for your zelda remake I think..

like I said before you friend are a freak.

Midi is abstract information only. No waveform data. The files are usually very small.
