NAME

WildMidi_Init - Initialize the library

LIBRARY

libWildMidi

SYNOPSIS

#include <wildmidi_lib.h>

WildMidi_Init (const char *config_file, uint16_t rate, uint16_t options)

DESCRIPTION

Initializes libWildMidi in preparation for playback. This function only needs to be called once by the program using libWildMidi.

The file that contains the instrument configuration for the library.
The sound rate you want the the audio data output at. Rates accepted by libWildMidi are 11025 - 65000.
The initial options to set for the library. see below.
By default the library uses linear volume levels typically used in computer MIDI players. These can differ somewhat to volume levels found on some midi hardware which may use a volume curve based on decibels. This option sets the volume levels to what you'd expect on such devices.
By default libWildMidi uses linear interpolation for the resampling of the sound samples. Setting this option enables the library to use a resampling method that attempts to fill in the gaps giving richer sound.
libWildMidi has an 8 reflection reverb engine. Use this option to give more depth to the output.
Ignores the fractional or decimal part of a tempo setting. If you are having timing issues try WM_MO_ROUNDTEMPO before trying this option. This option added due to some software not supporting fractional tempos allowable in the MIDI specification.
Rounds the fractional or decimal part of a tempo setting. Try this option is you are having timing issues, if this fails then try WM_MO_WHOLETEMPO. This option added due to some software not supporting fractional tempos allowable in the MIDI specification.
