Maestro Conceptual Views

In Green on the schema: play music from a MIDI file with full interaction with your application (MidiFilePlayer, MPTKWriter, MidiExternalPlay, MidiInReader MidiListPlayer, MidiSpatializer).
In Orange on the schema: create and play your music at run-time in your application (MidiStreamPlayer, MidiKeyboard, MPTKChordBuilder, MPTKChordLib, MPTKRangeLib). Typically, music is created in your Update() method.

These two modes Green and Orange can be combined in any way as you want around the central MPTKEvent class, which describes a MIDI event.
