MIDI Playback in Android Cupcake

If, like me, you've been wondering why the audio support in Android was so poor, you'll be pleased to hear that Android 1.5 (Cupcake) addresses some of the issues.

I'll write a more in-depth post once I've gone through some real world examples, but one thing which I'm currently reading up on is the in-built MIDI support.

Rather than just stick a bog-standard MIDI engine in Android, the Google engineers have chosen to include a JET playback engine, which allows musical synchronisation of clips and seamless playback. It's mainly tailored towards game playing as it allows you to script the clips about to played back to tie in with the gameplay, but I'm already thinking up some cool musical ideas for it.

Have a read of the documentation on Android.com, at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/jet/jetcreator_manual.html
