portMIDI?

Fmod is an easier solution, it's not free for shareware/commercial tho.

Am about to give up on portmidi, same code won't work on MAC but does on WIN. Unable to pas pre-processor flags to the C compiler...

Have had a look at RtMidi as well looks better written and more up-to-date but have same sort of issues as portmidi.

portmidi has one glaring problem when using it with a USB midi device sending sysex seems to send more thanb just the data you tell it to.

Fixed PortMIDI sysex problem:

static PmError winmm_end_sysex(PmInternal *midi, PmTimestamp timestamp)
{
midiwinmm_type m = (midiwinmm_type) midi->descriptor;
PmError rslt = pmNoError;
assert(m);
if (midi->latency == 0) {
/* Not using the stream interface. The entire sysex message is
in m->hdr, and we send it using midiOutLongMsg.

*/

// ********************

m->hdr->dwBytesRecorded = 0;
m->hdr->dwBufferLength = m->sysex_byte_count;
