RtMidi - a set of C++ classes that provide a common API for realtime MIDI input/output across Linux (ALSA & Jack), Macintosh OS X (CoreMidi), Windows (Multimedia) and SGI operating systems.

By Gary P. Scavone, 2003-2011.

This distribution of RtMidi contains the following:

doc:      RtMidi documentation (see doc/html/index.html)
tests:    example RtMidi programs

On unix systems, type "./configure" in the top level directory, then "make" in the tests/ directory to compile the test programs.  In Windows, open the Visual C++ workspace file located in the tests/ directory.

OVERVIEW:

RtMidi is a set of C++ classes (RtMidiIn and RtMidiOut) that provide a common API (Application Programming Interface) for realtime MIDI input/output across Linux (ALSA), Macintosh OS X, SGI, and Windows (Multimedia Library) operating systems.  RtMidi significantly simplifies the process of interacting with computer MIDI hardware and software.  It was designed with the following goals:

  - object oriented C++ design
  - simple, common API across all supported platforms
  - only two header files and one source file for easy inclusion in programming projects
  - MIDI device enumeration

MIDI input and output functionality are separated into two classes, RtMidiIn and RtMidiOut.  Each class instance supports only a single MIDI connection.  RtMidi does not provide timing functionality (i.e., output messages are sent immediately).  Input messages are timestamped with delta times in seconds (via a double floating point type).  MIDI data is passed to the user as raw bytes using an std::vector<unsigned char>.
