Hello all. Would you recommend Java for building a simple (or complex) soft synthesizer? Are you aware of any similar project? Could you point me to appropriate reading?

Thanks in advance

Thank you for replying.
I am aware of the technique that you described (and the related example), yet it is not what i want, because it sends a note to a "synthesizer", namely the default windows synth of my on-board card.

What i need is a way to send a midi message (a midi event, actually) to a pre-defined "receiver", in order to drive (via midi) an external synth.

Take this code for example:



... taken from the book mentioned in the comment and it's related web site.
It gets a list of installed midi outputs and (supposedly) will send a midi event, yet it does not seem to work in the sense that the author does not provide adequate info on how to construct such a midi event, or the way that a specific "receiver" is selected.

Any more thoughts?

... from a Java newbie, fluent in other languages.

I am trying to create a simple program that will open a midi out port on my computer and send a note to it. My computer is running Windows and i run the following code in order to find out the available midi ports on my machine:





The code reveals the following information:





... so , all i want to do is select any of these ports and send a C to it for a given time duration.

Any help is welcome.

Best Regards
