Method Detail
-
setReceiver
void setReceiver(Receiver receiver)
Sets the receiver to which this transmitter will deliver MIDI messages. If a receiver is currently set, it is replaced with this one.- Parameters:
receiver- the desired receiver
-
getReceiver
Receiver getReceiver()
Obtains the current receiver to which this transmitter will deliver MIDI messages.- Returns:
- the current receiver. If no receiver is currently set, returns
null.
-
close
void close()
Indicates that the application has finished using the transmitter, and that limited resources it requires may be released or made available.If the creation of this
Transmitterresulted in implicitly opening the underlying device, the device is implicitly closed by this method. This is true unless the device is kept open by otherReceiverorTransmitterinstances that opened the device implicitly, and unless the device has been opened explicitly. If the device thisTransmitteris retrieved from is closed explicitly by callingMidiDevice.close, theTransmitteris closed, too. For a detailed description of open/close behaviour see the class description ofMidiDevice.- Specified by:
