Summary

Public Methods

abstract void send(MidiMessage message, long timeStamp)
Sends a MIDI message and time-stamp to this receiver.

Public Methods

public abstract 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.

Parameters

IllegalStateException if the receiver is closed
