MIDI in qbasic...

[GaMe-BoX]

Does anybody have a good midi player code for qbasic...

A general question about midi in qbasic... will it require qbasics attention in form of playing from a loop or will it just start the midi and then the midi will do itself while qbasic is doing the game loop for example... ??

QMIDI is a free library for QBasic, QuickBasic and VB-DOS. It provides an easy way to add background MIDI music to your programs.

QMIDI supports two file formats: Standard MIDI (.MID) and Microsoft RMID (.RMI).  For RMID files, you need to use the included RMI2MID utility, which converts RMI files to Standard MIDI format.  Other music formats (CMF, ROL, etc.) are not currently supported.
