has a source code library for MIDI communications. They sell for ~$20.
I believe they include versions for Lightspeed C and Pascal, MPW C,
MDS assembler, and possibly one other C compiler. All the versions
are included on one disk.
I used these routines in a Yamaha FB-01 voice editor I wrote. They
weren't terribly well documented, though I was able to finally figure
things out, and am pleased with their performance. The documentation
does not say anything (that I remember) about commercial liscensing
of the libraries, though. You might want to contact them if you
want to sell your code.
Have fun!
