Syntax

MMRESULT midiOutShortMsg(
   HMIDIOUT hmo,
   DWORD    dwMsg
);

Parameters

hmo
Handle to the MIDI output device. This parameter can also be the handle of a MIDI stream cast to HMIDIOUT.
dwMsg
MIDI message. The message is packed into a DWORD value with the first byte of the message in the low-order byte. The message is packed into this parameter as follows.

Word Byte Usage

High High-order Not used.

Low-order The second byte of MIDI data (when needed).

Low High-order The first byte of MIDI data (when needed).

Low-order The MIDI status.

The two MIDI data bytes are optional, depending on the MIDI status byte. When a series of messages have the same status byte, the status byte can be omitted from messages after the first one in the series, creating a running status. Pack a message for running status as follows:

Remarks

This function is used to send any MIDI message except for system-exclusive or stream messages.
