DLS Structures

DirectMusic

Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 2004)

DLS Structures

This section contains reference information for structures used with Downloadable Sounds. Most applications do not need to use these structures, because DirectMusic handles the details of loading DLS collections and downloading instruments to the synthesizer. They are of interest chiefly for applications that edit DLS.

For an overview of using DLS data, see Low-Level DLS.

For more information on DLS data formats, see the specification from the MIDI Manufacturers Association.

The following structures are included in this section.

Structure Description
DMUS_ARTICPARAMS Describes parameters for a DLS articulation chunk.
DMUS_ARTICULATION Describes a DLS level 1 articulation chunk.
DMUS_ARTICULATION2 Describes a DLS level 1 or level 2 articulation chunk.
DMUS_COPYRIGHT Describes an optional copyright chunk in DLS data
DMUS_DOWNLOADINFO Used as a header for DLS data to be downloaded to a port.
DMUS_EXTENSIONCHUNK Describes a DLS extension chunk.
DMUS_INSTRUMENT Contains an instrument definition in a DLS download chunk.
