SOUND PROGRAMMING

Wolf's Midi Site
I normally don't add links that don't pertain to programming, but for my friend's page, I've made an exception. Anyway, if you like MIDIs, check out the site. He's got midis from movies, games, tv, and more.

Programming.Source.Sound
Homepage of the famous MIDAS sound system. Not much to say about this page...just a good place to find the most recent version, and read about what's new, etc.

MIDAS Digital Audio System
Here's a link for all you that're looking for info on sound/music programming. Lots of source code and docs for many different sound cards. Also has some stuff on MIDI programming, which is pretty hard to find these days.
