[sdiy] Need java midi programs

[David Panseri]

Java has a built in midi library. I haven't used it myself however.
You can find a complete Java API reference at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/. Check out the
javax.sound.midi package (upper left corner).

If you look around on the Internet I'm sure you can find some intro to
java type tutorials. It's not terribly hard to pick up, especially if
you've been exposed to C or C++.

One good example of a java midi program is JSynthLib. It's basically a
patch editor for a bunch of different types of synths. The source is
freely available as well.

http://www.jsynthlib.org/

After poking around on google I found some other examples:

Hope this helps
