virtual void channelMute (uchar chn, int a)
 Mute or "unmute" a given channel .

virtual void setVolumePercentage (int volper)
 Change all channel volume events multiplying it by this percentage correction Instead of forcing a channel to a fixed volume, this method allows to music to fade out even when it was being played softly.

int ok (void)
 Returns true if everything's ok and false if there has been any problem.

const char * midiMapFilename ()
 Returns the path to the file where the current used MidiMapper object reads the configuration from, or an empty string if there's no MidiMapper.

void sync (int i=0)
 Sends the buffer to the device and returns when it's played, so you can synchronize XXX: sync should be virtual after next bic release.

Detailed Description

External MIDI port output class . Sends MIDI events to external MIDI devices.

This class is used to send midi events to external midi devices.

MidiOut is inherited by other MIDI devices classes (like SynthOut or FMOut) to support a common API.

In general, you don't want to use MidiOut directly, but within a DeviceManager object, which is the preferred way to generate music.

If you want to add support for other devices (I don't think there are any) you just have to create a class that inherits from MidiOut and create one object of your new class in DeviceManager::initManager().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MidiOut::MidiOut int  d = 0  ) 
 

Constructor.

After constructing a MidiOut device, you must open it (using openDev() ). Additionally you may want to initialize it (with initDev() ),

Definition at line 46 of file midiout.cc.

MidiOut::~MidiOut  )  [virtual]
 

Destructor.

It doesn't matter if you close the device (closeDev() ) before you destruct the object because in other case, it will be closed here.

Definition at line 57 of file midiout.cc.

References closeDev().


Member Function Documentation

void MidiOut::openDev int  sqfd  )  [virtual]
 

Opens the device.

This is generally called from DeviceManager , so you shouldn't call this yourself (except if you created the MidiOut object yourself.

Parameters:
sqfd a file descriptor of /dev/sequencer

closeDev

initDev

Reimplemented in AlsaOut, FMOut, GUSOut, and SynthOut.

void MidiOut::closeDev  )  [virtual]
 

Closes the device.

It basically tells the device (the file descriptor) is going to be closed.

int MidiOut::deviceType  )  const [inline]
 

Returns:
the device type of the object. This is to identify the inherited class that a given object is polymorphed to. The returned value is one of these :
  • KMID_EXTERNAL_MIDI if it's a MidiOut object
  • KMID_SYNTH if it's a SynthOut object (as an AWE device)
  • KMID_FM if it's a FMOut object
  • KMID_GUS if it's a GUSOut object
which are defined in midispec.h
