midi stops when sounds start

[DTownTony]

Hello,

Using the BlackBerry runtime I have a midi playing and when a sound plays the midi automatically stops. Any idea how to get it to continue playing? I start the midi by playing it on a continuous loop.

Thanks

That must be a device-dependent problem, as in my code sounds are totally separated from musics...

Hi Francois,

I probably should have dug a little deeper before bugging people with this question. You are correct it is a device limitation. But a heads up to anyone developing for BlackBerrys, any CDMA capable handset (ie the Storm series) will not be able (at least at this point in time) to play 2+ streams whether it be wav files, or midis. So sadly its either background music or sound effects.

I hope you guys keep working on this runtime, it has so much possibility and I don't think people realize how profitable developing for BlackBerry can be. One thing that would be cool for future updates would be to be able to use the phone vibrate feature, which I have found a nice touch in some games/apps)

Thanks,

Tony
