this code works, but do you know if there's any way to make it work while using FL Studio as well? I'd like to have FL Studio running so that I get sound out of it, but want to process the midi input with C++/C# so I can show notes on the staff as I play. if I try to have both programs running at once, neither one works, it gives the "midiInOpen() failed" error.... thanks
