How to access USB MIDI interfaces

Hi
Some time back I wrote a (simple) editor which accessed MIDI over the standard Windows API. This is the MIDI port you select in the system settings.
I have recently purchased both an Edirol USB interface (which has a driver) and an ESI M8U 8-way USB interface (which needs NO driver at all!!!) and am amazed that my commercial sequencer, which is older than these devices, directly recognizes and outputs MIDI to both!
Since this is the off-topic section of this board, I was wondering if anyone can give me pointers how I can add such support to my application.
My language of choice is Delphi, but I am quite capable of understanding the C header files of the APIs.
Thanks in advance!

If it appears as a MIDI driver (hint: Use MIDI-OX to determine this), there is a driver installed. It may be one supplied by MS, but MIDI applications always attach to drivers.
