La libreria LibVLC consente di eseguire anche file MIDI, purché si abbiano installati nel sistema anche:

vlc-plugin-fluidsynth - le risorse dei plugin di FluidSynth per VLC;
fluid-soundfont-gm - Fluid (R3) General MIDI SoundFont (GM);
ovviamente lo stesso FluidSynth.

E' possibile eseguire dati Midi anche direttamente da internet.

Per creare in Gambas un'applicazione con la presente risorsa, si dovrà installare e richiamare la libreria condivisa "libvlc.so.5.6.1 ".

Esecuzione on-line di un file Midi da una pagina web

Per eseguire on-line un file Midi dal collegamento presente in una pagina web, bisognerà:
1) assicurarsi che l'indirizzo web, ove è ospitato il file Midi da eseguire, inizi con l'acronimo del protocollo "http" e non con "https";
2) utilizzare la funzione "libvlc_media_new_location( )" al posto della funzione "libvlc_media_new_path( )".

Esempio:

media = libvlc_media_new_location(instance, "http://www.indirizzo/web/del/file.mid")

Eseguire un file Midi mediante le funzioni esterne del API di VLC
