Quicktime Midi probs
Sebastian Wegner
I'm using Quicktime Music Synthesizer for music playback in my games
(Carbon: OS 9 and OSX). Sometimes while playing a song Quicktime seems to
'forget' some settings of the instruments, for example the keyboard gets
much louder although I do not make any Quicktime calls except:
if (!IsMovieDone(currentMovie)) MoviesTask(currentMovie, 0);
The problem also sometimes occurred after starting one movie. The program
change calls and volume set calls seem to need much time until the
Synthesizer processes them. Putting a delay between them and the music start
seemed to help.
This behaviour can also be seen (and heard) when the Logic Sequencer
processes the midi files and plays them through the Quicktime Synthesizer,
but the movie player never seems to have problems with that!
So, does anybody know what to do to play the files properly?
