This is a QB64-PE compatible MIDI player library that uses Win32 WinMM MIDI streaming APIs.

• Easy plug-&-play API optimized for demos & games (without pulling in the full QB64-PE audio library)
• Works with both 64-bit and 32-bit QB64-PE complier
• Everything is statically linked (no DLL dependency; unlike this)
• Demo player that shows how to use the library
• Contains a simple asynchronous ACM compressed .WAV player that supports looping (great for background .WAV music)

• Clone the repository to a directory of your choice
• Open Terminal and change to the directory using an appropriate OS command
• Run git submodule update --init --recursive to initialize, fetch and checkout git submodules
• Open WinMIDIPlayer64.bas in the QB64-PE IDE and press F5 to compile and run
• To use the library in your project add the Toolbox64 repository as a Git submodule

• This requires the latest version of QB64-PE
• This works on Windows only because it makes use of the Windows API
• To use something more cross-platform use QB64-PE's native _SNDOPEN
• When you clone a repository that contains submodules, the submodules are not automatically cloned by default
• You will need to use the git submodule update --init --recursive to initialize, fetch and checkout git submodules
• This can be used when you just need simple sound and MIDI playback under Windows and do not want to pull in the full QB64-PE audio library
