Hello.
Developpers and musicians need a new MIDI API.
Here is the legacy API for MIDI programming : MIDI
Structures naming are awfull, it is not object oriented nor COM.
Microsoft can do a better API.
We need a new MIDI API for Windows Seven. An API driver's compliant with the new Windows driver architecture, even if MIDI does not need this (indeed it does not require high performance). It's seems some problems are coming because of this : MIDI problem
..."Thanks for the report; we’re investigating the issue."...
Do not investigate, please make a new API we could use under MediaFoundation. You can't let a legacy API, thinking it will work just fine with new Windows OS. There is a time to make it compliant with new windows OS, and new programming style.
I will work on the legacy API, but i would like to use a MediaFoundation API like, with COM and OOO. I don't want to work with unstable API for the future OS.
And please answer to the question : What is the recommended API for MIDI development on Vista? Oups now there is Windows 8.1...
Windows has always been a multimedia OS for everyone... musicians including.
