Has anyone tried MIDI Simplified 1.6 Components?

[finlazarus]

I'm constantly learning more about MIDI and trying to find interesting pascal/Lazarus/Delphi solutions online.

'MIDI Simplified 1.6'  looks promising:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/midi-simplified/

This looks really interesting. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to install its midi package. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Has anyone tried this. Was the installation successful?

No. I have my own ALSA libraries for Linux, but they aren't graphical.

Seems Delphi only. But there are midi components that work on Lazarus too.

I used Tmidigen for years:
https://torry.net/components/effects-and-multimedia/audio/tmidigen.

This should be able to compile with Freepascal in {$mode delphi}
(It does, just tested)
Caveats:
- I never used it as a visual component
- It is win32 only (but can be made 64 bit Windows)
- You need to make two small changes to the component code: add {$mode delphi} and remove reference to forms unit in uses clause.

There is a MIDI component in OPM

There is also PortMIDI which is cross platform. Have to research if there are Pascal headers for that.

You can take a look at my PSS Revive https://github.com/BobanSpasic/PSS-Revive/tree/main
It uses PortMIDI on Linux/Darwin/BSD and WinMM on Windows.
The directory ext_units contains the PortMIDI interface, and in directory Units you'll find UnPortMIDI which is used under Windows to compensate for functions found in PortMIDI, but not in WinMM.
Why WinMM on Windows and not PortMIDI? - Because I didn't find any working 64-bit PortMIDI DLLs on the net.

btw. I am using MIDI just for transmitting and receiving SysEx messages, no sequencers, .mid files etc. involved.
