Refer to MusicKit Function References for descriptions of the functions (and function-like macros) that are provided by the MusicKit. Many of the functions are auxiliary to the Kit's classes in that they augment or are superceded by one or more classes. Of the rest, some functions provide information or functionality that can't be gotten elsewhere, while some others are convenient but not necessarily the only way to address a particular topic.
The following sections don't attempt to describe what individual functions do―the names of the functions are fairly descriptive in themselves―they merely list the functions as they fall into broad categories.
These functions convert between MIDI and
MKNote amplitude representations:
MKAmpToMidi(),
MKAmpAttenuationToMidi(),
MKMidiToAmp(),
MKMidiToAmpAttenuation(),
MKMidiToAmpWithSensitivity(),
MKMidiToAmpAttenuationWithSensitivity(),
MKdB()
