Re: Creating a midi file using the C computer language

Maybe you can give me some help please.

1.I am considering doing a simple midi file generator for my
4th year project in B.SC.
2.I would do it using c language, but i'm not sure how
difficult it would be.
3.Basically, the executable c program would read a text document
with some "musical pseudocode" representing some `tune`.
Then convert the "musical pseudocode" into "midi code" that
could be played in any midi player like `windows media player`.
4.How *exactly* would you do this?
5.I hear that you could use `truncated fourier series`; but how to
do this?
6.Also, how to re-create various musical instruments?
7.Please give me some quick guidence on the above issues. 8.Thanks.


Java has built in support for writing xml files
I believe the .NET framework has the same thing
Fourier and midi, seems and odd combination, because midi hadles only
events (notes and controllers), not the actual sound producing/processing

Seems like a fun project, though. Good luck!
