Common devices * include synthesizers, sequencers, MIDI input ports, and MIDI output ports. *
* A {@code 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 {@code 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 {@code MidiDevice} * instance. If an application opens a {@code 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 MidiSystem#getReceiver} and {@link MidiSystem#getTransmitter}. The * {@code MidiDevice} used by {@code MidiSystem.getReceiver} and * {@code MidiSystem.getTransmitter} is implementation-dependant unless the * properties {@code javax.sound.midi.Receiver} and * {@code javax.sound.midi.Transmitter} are used (see the description of * properties to select default providers in {@link MidiSystem}). A * {@code MidiDevice} that was opened implicitly, is closed implicitly by * closing the {@code Receiver} or {@code Transmitter} that resulted in opening * it. If more than one implicitly opening {@code Receiver} or * {@code Transmitter} were obtained by the application, the device is closed * after the last {@code Receiver} or {@code Transmitter} has been closed. On * the other hand, calling {@code getReceiver} or {@code getTransmitter} on the * device instance directly does not open the device implicitly. Closing these * {@code Transmitter}s and {@code Receiver}s does not close the device * implicitly. To use a device with {@code Receiver}s or {@code 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 * {@code MidiDevice} instance, the following rules apply: * *
{@code * MidiDevice device = ...; * if ( ! (device instanceof Sequencer) && ! (device instanceof Synthesizer)) { * // we're now sure that device represents a MIDI port * // ... * } * }* *
