MIDI support for Android seems to be missing
I'm trying to use Terra to play MIDI notes in an Android application.
The main MIDI unit (TERRA_MIDI.pas) uses TERRA_MIDI_IO.pas to send the notes, but TERRA_MIDI_IO.pas only seems to exist for Windows and Mac.
Is there any chance to get MIDI support for Android too?
Thanks!!
Hi, this engine is already 7 years old, back then Android did not have a standard way to process MIDI messages so that's why there was no Android support. Now the situation might have changed, however I no longer work on this engine. I recommend that you first search around if there is an alternative to use MIDI + Pascal + Android somehow.
If you don't find anything useful, you could look at porting this library from C to Pascal: https://github.com/schellingb/TinySoundFont
It implements a full sounfont synth plus MIDI playback in just 2 files. If you want to go this route and can't do the port yourself, I could do it myself but that would be a paid job that would have to be negotiated. I've done several similar works for this engine, like porting the TTF loader and OGG decoders from C to Pascal.
Dear Sergio,
Thank you very much for your fast reply. I will take a look at this material and I'll let you know if that seems a promising way to proceed/
All the best :)

As alternative you can use http://www.un4seen.com/ libbass for non comercial projects.
Thank you for the tip! I'm looking into it right now. Best regards.
