/**
* MidiDevice
is the base interface for all MIDI devices.
* Common devices include synthesizers, sequencers, MIDI input ports, and MIDI
* output ports.
*
*
A MidiDevice
can be a transmitter or a receiver of
* MIDI events, or both. Therefore, it can provide {@link Transmitter}
* or {@link Receiver} instances (or both). Typically, MIDI IN ports
* provide transmitters, MIDI OUT ports and synthesizers provide
* receivers. A Sequencer typically provides transmitters for playback
* and receivers for recording.
*
*
A MidiDevice
can be opened and closed explicitly as
* well as implicitly. Explicit opening is accomplished by calling
* {@link #open}, explicit closing is done by calling {@link
* #close} on the MidiDevice
instance.
* If an application opens a MidiDevice
* explicitly, it has to close it explicitly to free system resources
* and enable the application to exit cleanly. Implicit opening is
* done by calling {@link javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem#getReceiver
* MidiSystem.getReceiver} and {@link
* javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem#getTransmitter
* MidiSystem.getTransmitter}. The MidiDevice
used by
* MidiSystem.getReceiver
and
* MidiSystem.getTransmitter
is implementation-dependant
* unless the properties javax.sound.midi.Receiver
* and javax.sound.midi.Transmitter
are used (see the
* description of properties to select default providers in
* {@link javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem}). A MidiDevice
* that was opened implicitly, is closed implicitly by closing the
* Receiver
or Transmitter
that resulted in
* opening it. If more than one implicitly opening
* Receiver
or Transmitter
were obtained by
* the application, the decive is closed after the last
* Receiver
or Transmitter
has been
* closed. On the other hand, calling getReceiver
or
* getTransmitter
on the device instance directly does
* not open the device implicitly. Closing these
* Transmitter
s and Receiver
s does not close
* the device implicitly. To use a device with Receiver
s
* or Transmitter
s obtained this way, the device has to
* be opened and closed explicitly.
*
*
If implicit and explicit opening and closing are mixed on the
* same MidiDevice
instance, the following rules apply:
*
*
* MidiDevice device = ...; * if ( ! (device instanceof Sequencer) && ! (device instanceof Synthesizer)) { * // we're now sure that device represents a MIDI port * // ... * } ** *
* A MidiDevice
includes a {@link MidiDevice.Info}
object
* to provide manufacturer information and so on.
*
* @see Synthesizer
* @see Sequencer
* @see Receiver
* @see Transmitter
