BASS.NET is a .Net wrapper for the BASS Audio Library and all it's Add-Ons - available @ www.un4seen.com.
The Bass.Net.dll release version is installed in the specified 'install-directory' and will be registered to the .NET Framework as a standard component (if you left all the installation options checked).
Note, that there are various Bass.Net assemblies available (side-by-side): one targeting the .Net v4.8 Full Framework and one targeting the .Net v6.0 Core Framework.
The native BASS libraries (e.g. bass.dll) are NOT included and need to be downloaded seperately - so make sure to download the BASS library and the needed add-on libraries and place them to your project executable directory (e.g. place the bass.dll to .\bin\Debug).
Namespace | Description |

radio42.Multimedia.Midi |
This namespace contains all classes, delegates and enumerations to support native MIDI communication.
This implementation wraps the WINMM.DLL Microsoft Multimedia API library, which is actually not part of BASS, but rather the Microsoft operating system.
So it is not to be confused with the BassMidi add-on (which about real-time playback of MIDI notes and files)!
The main class Midi wraps most common MIDI API calls (like enumerating the MIDI devices and sending or receiving MIDI messages) and has been implemented as static methods. These methods might be used to implement your own native MIDI communication. So there is NO need to create an instance of the Midi class! The other two main objects, which might be even more useful, are the MidiInputDevice and MidiOutputDevice which are real classes and make use of the Midi methods internally. With the MidiShortMessage and MidiSysExMessage classes you might create (encode, pack) or read (decode, unpack) any Midi data or system-exclusive message. Alltogether they handle effective communication with MIDI ports (like sending and reveiving any kind of message). Those classes need to be instantiated before their use. For more information about MIDI see here: Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI). |
Un4seen.Bass |
This namespace contains all classes, delegates and enumerations to support the native bass.dll.
BASS is an audio library for use in Windows and Mac OSX software. Its purpose is to provide developers with powerful and efficient sample, stream (MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG, WAV, AIFF, custom generated, and more via add-ons), MOD music (XM, IT, S3M, MOD, MTM, UMX), MO3 music (MP3, OGG compressed MODs), and recording functions.
All BASS API calls are contained in the main class Bass and have been implemented as static methods. So there is NO need to create an instance of the Bass class! All BASS structures have been implemented as real classes (named in capital letters). This because they are much easier to use and reflect exactly what BASS would expect.
