Play midi file or midi tone in iPhone with Xcode / Cocoa

I need to play midi file or midi tone in iPhone.

I have tested MidiMonitor. I think that I need to create a destination point on the iPhone to receive midi, but I don't know how do it.

Can you help me? Example source code would be useful.

Like @skinnyTOD noted, from iOS 5.0 on it is possible to use MediaPlayer. First link the AVFoundation, and AudioToolbox frameworks to your project, then use this code:

#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

NSURL *midiUrl = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"even voor mij" withExtension:@"mid"];
MusicPlayer player = NULL;
NewMusicPlayer(&player);
MusicSequence sequence = NULL;
NewMusicSequence(&sequence);
MusicSequenceFileLoad(sequence, (__bridge CFURLRef)midiUrl, NULL, NULL);
MusicPlayerSetSequence(player, sequence);
MusicPlayerStart(player);

This sets up the player with your midi file from bundle, and start playing. Note that you will need to call DisposeMusicSequence and DisposeMusicPlayer when cleaning up the player.

If you are still trying to sort this, iOS 5 includes the MusicPlayer API - it can load, play and create midi files. You'll need to also read up on the new AUSampler AudioUnit.
