MidiShare

MidiShare has been designed in 1989 in response to problems commonly met in the development of realtime music software. It provides high level services to developers and ensures platform independance.

Freely available on the Internet to developers since several years, the MidiShare development kit supports a great variety of programming languages: C, C++, Common Lisp, Pascal, Java...

Two additional libraries are also provided to facilitate the development of musical applications: a MIDI files management library and a Player library intended to develop multi-tracks MidiShare sequencers.

Put the mshare32.dll, midishare.ini and the desired drivers into the application folder which can be any MidiShare client application too.

The file mshare32.dll is the current MidiShare kernel library. For the drivers setup, see the drivers section.

If you want to share the DLLs and the .ini files between several client applications, you can also put them into the Windows folder.
