Opcode Systems 444 Ramona St Palo Alto, CA 94301 (415) 321-8977 has a source code library for MIDI communications. They sell for ~$20. I believe they include versions for Lightspeed C and Pascal, MPW C, MDS assembler, and possibly one other C compiler. All the versions are included on one disk. I used these routines in a Yamaha FB-01 voice editor I wrote. They weren't terribly well documented, though I was able to finally figure things out, and am pleased with their performance. The documentation does not say anything (that I remember) about commercial liscensing of the libraries, though. You might want to contact them if you want to sell your code.
