Hi There,

Now updated PlayMidiLib with QuickTime support
- you can add QuickTime to your own programs
in the same way by calling the routines in the
QTMusicLib.dll

http://tunesmithy.co.uk/playmidilib/index.htm

The source code shows how to do it in C without needing to link the
library to your program - and do it dynamially at
run time instead (useful if you don't know if user has QT installed
or not).

And, I'd got it right the second time - the pitch bend range
is 256 units per semitone as in Monz's page
as I found out with some more work on the code -
all very confusing at first when you are thoroughly
used to thinking of Midi data in terms of 7 bit
bytes all the time. But probably not at all confusing
for newbies to midi.

Interested in any comments or suggestions about the
library or the program.

Thanks,

Cheers,

Robert
