Giavapps MIDI

Giavapps MIDI extension for GameMaker Studio and GameMaker Studio 2 (developed and produced by Luigi Piscopo) is going to bring you a full set of features for detecting and communicating with MIDI Input and MIDI Output devices!

MIDI is a technical standard that describes a protocol, digital interface and connectors and allows a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers and other related devices to connect and communicate with one another.

This extension includes also functionalities for creating and playing MIDI Files.

Giavapps MIDI works exclusively on Windows since it implements native Windows Multimedia API.

PLEASE NOTE

GameMaker 2022.2.0 and later use x64 Windows Runtime by default.
Newer versions of GameMaker will no longer support x86 architecture.
This Extension only supports x86 architecture and will not work with newer versions of GameMaker.
