Music in c++ ?

twirl · 10-21-2005, 04:02 PM

Hi,

I have tried looking for information on music in c++ for linux but have only came across stuff for windows :-(. I am wondering is there anything like the function play like what is in basic so you can do play "g,c,g,e,f" or something along these lines?

Thankyou

i'm not quite sure what you are trying to do but you could use sdl, by loading in sound files(ie notes) and playing them back.

I think that playing MIDI files is what I would do (and have a function to easily choose which one to play). MIDI files are very small, especially if there is only one note being played.

Try looking at SDL_Mixer stuff.

maybe take a look at : http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/
it has all sound stuff ( like wave generating and filtering with fft ) in c++ .

btw. it's a softsynth...

You can try libraries such as RTMidi or JDKMidi - which are platform compatible midi libraries. They will enable you to program in MIDI.

However, if you are looking for a way to program Music Notes directly in C++, then you might find CFugue suiting your purposes. In Beta stages, this is one of the only available C++ highlevel music programming libraries for Midi today.
