# midi\_recorder(3alleg)

Hook notifying you when new MIDI data becomes available. Allegro game programming library.

## NAME

midi\_recorder - Hook notifying you when new MIDI data becomes available. Allegro game programming library.

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<allegro.h\>**

**extern void (\*midi\_recorder)(unsigned char data);**

## DESCRIPTION

If set, this function is called by the MIDI input driver whenever a new  byte of MIDI data becomes available. It runs in an interrupt context, so  it must execute very quickly and all the code/data must be locked. This currently works only under DOS and Windows.
