load_midi_patches(3alleg4)

✨ NAME ✨

load_midi_patches — the little function that forces your MIDI driver to load a whole set of patches, no cap 💅 and yeah, she lives in the Allegro game programming library 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

int load_midi_patches();

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bestie, what this does is it forces the MIDI driver to load the entire set of patches and get them all ready to use 🎹✨

and like… you will not normally need to call this, fr fr, because Allegro is that girl 💅 she automatically loads whatever data is required for the current MIDI file all on her own, main character energy, no notes 👑

BUT — and this is the part you actually need to remember — you must call it before sending any program change messages via the midi_out() command 🫶 so if you're out here doing program changes without calling this first, that's giving chaos, that's giving undefined vibes, don't do that to yourself 😭

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

Returns non-zero if an error occurred 💀 (so zero = we're so back, non-zero = it's over)
