I just want to know how to simply play a piano sound using the MFC and MIDI in C++

DirectMusic, MFC is a waste of time

ok so... after setting up all the variables and stuff...
what do i write to simply play a midi-instrument with say velocity = 80 and tone/pitch 43?!?!?

Here's an article on setting up DirectMusic and playing a MIDI file.

Kool, thanx!! But how about playing notes independently, like using a midi piano for SFX in a simple game?
