I'm interested in porting an existing OS 9 MIDI app to OS X. This

and ready to go, except for the low-level MIDI spcific portions.

Does it just send sysex, or is there more to it than that?

I agree that the docs are pretty disappointing. If you have not done so already, I suggest going to connect.apple.com (sign up for a free developer account if you have not already) and download the latest CoreAudio SDK... I believe it has more recent docs and sample code than you will find in the standard developer tools.

That said -- maybe I'm just adventurous -- but I found it not to difficult to figure out the CoreMIDI APi just by reading the headers and sample code and experimenting with it. The example in /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/MIDI/SampleTools/Echo.cpp shows you how to create a CoreMIDI client within your app, and how to do basic input and output. There really is not much you need to do as far as setup goes.

If you have more specific questions, the list is likely to be more helpful. Which functions exactly are you having problems with?
