midi_recorder(3)

🎀 midi_recorder(3) 🎀

okay so this is a page straight out of the Allegro manual, and it's giving MIDI hook realness. It's all about midi_recorder, which is part of the Allegro game programming library. Let's get into it, bestie. 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

midi_recorder — a hook that notifies you when new MIDI data becomes available. Allegro game programming library. 🎹💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

extern void (*midi_recorder)(unsigned char data);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: if you set this function, the MIDI input driver calls it whenever a new byte of MIDI data becomes available. Like, every single new byte? Yes bestie, that's the gig. It's the notification hook, the main character of MIDI input. 👑

⚠️ But wait — important! It runs in an interrupt context. That means it must execute very quickly, and all the code and data must be locked. No cap. Do not be doing slow stuff in here, or the whole vibe check fails. 😭💀

Currently, this only works under DOS and Windows. That's the situation, fr fr. 🫶
