javax.sound.midi: public interface: Receiver

javax.sound.midi

Method from javax.sound.midi.Receiver Summary:
close, send

Method from javax.sound.midi.Receiver Detail:
public void close() Indicates that the application has finished using the receiver, and that limited resources it requires may be released or made available. If the creation of this `Receiver` resulted in implicitly opening the underlying device, the device is implicitly closed by this method. This is true unless the device is kept open by other `Receiver` or `Transmitter` instances that opened the device implicitly, and unless the device has been opened explicitly. If the device this `Receiver` is retrieved from is closed explicitly by calling MidiDevice.close , the `Receiver` is closed, too. For a detailed description of open/close behaviour see the class description of MidiDevice .
public void send(MidiMessage message, long timeStamp) Sends a MIDI message and time-stamp to this receiver. If time-stamping is not supported by this receiver, the time-stamp value should be -1.
