Member Function Documentation

static StringArray MidiInput::getDevices (  ) [static]

Returns a list of the available midi input devices.

You can open one of the devices by passing its index into the openDevice() method.

See also:
getDefaultDeviceIndex, openDevice
static int MidiInput::getDefaultDeviceIndex (  ) [static]

Returns the index of the default midi input device to use.

This refers to the index in the list returned by getDevices().

static MidiInput* MidiInput::openDevice ( int  deviceIndex,
MidiInputCallback callback 
) [static]

Tries to open one of the midi input devices.

This will return a MidiInput object if it manages to open it. You can then call start() and stop() on this device, and delete it when no longer needed.

If the device can't be opened, this will return a null pointer.

Parameters:
deviceIndexthe index of a device from the list returned by getDevices()
callbackthe object that will receive the midi messages from this device.
See also:
MidiInputCallback, getDevices
static MidiInput* MidiInput::createNewDevice ( const String deviceName,
MidiInputCallback callback 
) [static]

This will try to create a new midi input device (Not available on Windows).

This will attempt to create a new midi input device with the specified name, for other apps to connect to.

Returns 0 if a device can't be created.

Parameters:
deviceNamethe name to use for the new device
callbackthe object that will receive the midi messages from this device.
const String& MidiInput::getName (  ) const

Returns the name of this device.

void MidiInput::setName ( const String newName )

Allows you to set a custom name for the device, in case you don't like the name it was given when created.

virtual void MidiInput::start (  ) [virtual]

Starts the device running.

After calling this, the device will start sending midi messages to the MidiInputCallback object that was specified when the openDevice() method was called.
