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 * Transmitters and Receivers does not close * the device implicitly. To use a device with Receivers * or Transmitters 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: * *

* * To detect if a MidiDevice represents a hardware MIDI port, the * following programming technique can be used: * *
{@code
 * MidiDevice device = ...;
 * if ( ! (device instanceof Sequencer) && ! (device instanceof Synthesizer)) {
 *   // we're now sure that device represents a MIDI port
 *   // ...
 * }
 * }
* *
