constructor

  • Parameters

    • port: MIDIOutput

      The MIDI Out port which data gets sent to, see MidiAccess class.

    Returns MidiOut

Properties

port

port: MIDIOutput

The MIDI Out port which data gets sent to, see MidiAccess class.

Accessors

finished

isFinished

  • get isFinished(): boolean

  • Returns true if the MidiOut has been instructed to stop everything by the finish() method.

    Returns boolean

notes

  • get notes(): Note[]

  • The notes collection consists of notes which have been started, but not ended yet.

    The MidiOut will cycle through this collection on each update, checking to see if it needs to send out Note Off messages for any, or update note pressure.

    Returns Note[]

ref

  • get ref(): string

  • Provides a way of identifying MidiOut so it can be easily retrieved later.

    Returns string

  • set ref(value: string): void

  • Parameters

    • value: string

    Returns void

typeName

  • get typeName(): string

  • Returns the name of this type. This can be used rather than instanceof which is sometimes unreliable.

    Returns string

Methods

addNote

  • Adds a new note to the MidiOut's collection, returning the note that was added.

    If note.on == true, then the the MidiOut immediately sends a Note On message to the connected port.

    Returns

    Parameters

    • note: Note

      The note to add to the MidiOut.

    Returns Note

finish

  • Calling this tells the MidiOut to stop whatever it's doing and that it will no longer be used.

    Returns void

sendMessage

  • This method accepts an IMidiMessage object, which it converts to a MIDI byte array to send to the connected MIDI port.

    Returns

    Parameters

    • message: IMidiMessage

      The IMidiMessage object to be converted and sent out.

    Returns boolean

sendRawData

  • Sends a raw byte-array MIDI message to the connected MIDI port.

    Parameters

    • data: number[]

      An array of the data to be sent.

    Returns boolean

stopNotes

  • Calls the stop() method of all notes which have been added to the MidiOut that meet the passed in criteria.

    Parameters

    • Optional filter: ((note: Note) => boolean)

      The criteria for determining which notes need to be stopped. If no filter provided, then all notes are stopped.

        • (note: Note): boolean

        • Parameters

          Returns boolean

    Returns void

update

  • This method is intended to be called by a clock to provide regular updates. It should be called by consumers of the library.

    Returns

    Parameters

    • deltaMs: number

      How many milliseconds have passed since the last update cycle.

    Returns void

withRef

  • Provides a way for setting the ref through a chained function call. For example:

    clock.addChild(new MidiOut(port).withRef('output'));

    Returns

    The calling object.

    Parameters

    • ref: string

      The ref to set on the object.

    Returns IClockChild
