/*! \page SendingMIDI Sending MIDI events Once the synthesizer is up and running and a SoundFont is loaded, most people will want to do something useful with it. Make noise, for example. MIDI messages can be sent using the fluid_synth_noteon(), fluid_synth_noteoff(), fluid_synth_cc(), fluid_synth_pitch_bend(), fluid_synth_pitch_wheel_sens(), and fluid_synth_program_change() functions. For convenience, there's also a fluid_synth_bank_select() function (the bank select message is normally sent using a control change message). The following example show a generic graphical button that plays a note when clicked: \code class SoundButton : public SomeButton { public: SoundButton() : SomeButton() { if (!_synth) { initSynth(); } } static void initSynth() { _settings = new_fluid_settings(); _synth = new_fluid_synth(_settings); _adriver = new_fluid_audio_driver(_settings, _synth); } /* ... */ virtual int handleMouseDown(int x, int y) { /* Play a note on key 60 with velocity 100 on MIDI channel 0 */ fluid_synth_noteon(_synth, 0, 60, 100); } virtual int handleMouseUp(int x, int y) { /* Release the note on key 60 */ fluid_synth_noteoff(_synth, 0, 60); } protected: static fluid_settings_t* _settings; static fluid_synth_t* _synth; static fluid_audio_driver_t* _adriver; }; \endcode */
