java & midi in linux
 

hi
I would like to know if it is possible in java programs or applets in linux to handle midi stuff.
thanks in advance

Yes. It should work out of the box. I actually wrote a little java-midi player once but I can't find the source anywhere :\. I did that because midi in Linux can be easy or annoying to get to work :). Anyway, check the Java almanac for tips:

EDIT: If you want to take a look how my "jmidi" worked, I still have a binary:

Usage:

java -jar jmidi.jar <song_name.mid>

you can download this midi for testing:

Mind you though... it's very, very simple. It's just a piece of code that I use to play midi in my home-made Java games ^_^

Good luck!
