I just posted a video on MIDI playback, my first set of source files that can be easily integrated into your own C project.

The next puzzle pieces are going to be about:

* Using the Sound Driver in square wave, four-tone and freeform modes
* Dispatching MIDI playback to the sound driver, not decided yet on the exact mode, but it's basically a reverse-engineered approach from concertware, when you didn't have MIDI gear hooked up and were willing to compromise on the number of instruments, just to make sound from the Mac itself.
