Has anyone created a multi/track/channel/port midi playback engine that will read a standard type 1 midi file? Is there an example somewhere I could look at? Are there limitations on the number of tracks/channels/ports? I am in need of a good midi playback engine. It doesn't need to record, only play back but it has to be able to use multiple tracks/channels/ports.... 6 ports would be nice!

Grateful for any response any can give me and/or point me in the right direction.

which will take some time to decipher, but it does it all :)

Just spent some time with detonate documentation. It's going to take some time, as you said, to decipher it. By the way, how do you read in a standard midi file so detonate can read it? I wish there were a decent manual with lots of examples explaining Max. If I create a standard type 1 file in DP or in Sonar, what's the best way to bring it into the MAX program. What kind of file extension does it need? .midi? .smf? .mid?

Just got detonate to work reading a standard type 1 midi file. Thank YOU!!! for pointing me in the right direction!!
