Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MIDI	(	PinName	p_tx,
		PinName	p_rx
	)

Default constructor for MIDI.

Definition at line 21 of file MIDI.cpp.

~MIDI ( )

Default destructor for MIDI.

This is not really useful for the Arduino, as it is never called...

Definition at line 55 of file MIDI.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void begin ( const byte inChannel = 1 )

Call the begin method in the setup() function of the Arduino.

All parameters are set to their default values:

Input channel set to 1 if no value is specified
Full thru mirroring

Definition at line 67 of file MIDI.cpp.

bool check ( ) const

Check if a valid message is stored in the structure.

Definition at line 895 of file MIDI.cpp.

void disconnectCallbackFromType ( kMIDIType Type )

Detach an external function from the given type.

Use this method to cancel the effects of setHandle********.

Parameters:

Type	The type of message to unbind. When a message of this type is received, no function will be called.

Definition at line 943 of file MIDI.cpp.

byte getChannel ( ) const

Get the channel of the message stored in the structure.

Channel range is 1 to 16. For non-channel messages, this will return 0.

Definition at line 842 of file MIDI.cpp.

byte getData1 ( ) const

Get the first data byte of the last received message.

Definition at line 851 of file MIDI.cpp.

byte getData2 ( ) const

Get the second data byte of the last received message.

Definition at line 860 of file MIDI.cpp.

const byte * getSysExArray ( ) const

Get the System Exclusive byte array.

See also:: getSysExArrayLength to get the array's length in bytes.

Definition at line 872 of file MIDI.cpp.

unsigned int getSysExArrayLength ( ) const

Get the lenght of the System Exclusive array.

It is coded using data1 as LSB and data2 as MSB.

Returns:: The array's length, in bytes.

Definition at line 884 of file MIDI.cpp.

kMIDIType getType ( ) const

Get the last received message's type.

Returns an enumerated type.

See also:: kMIDIType

Definition at line 830 of file MIDI.cpp.

static kMIDIType getTypeFromStatusByte ( const byte inStatus ) [static]

Extract an enumerated MIDI type from a status byte.

This is a utility static method, used internally, made public so you can handle kMIDITypes more easily.

Definition at line 208 of file MIDI.h.

bool read ( const byte Channel )

Reading/thru-ing method, the same as read() with a given input channel to read on.

Definition at line 480 of file MIDI.cpp.

bool read ( )

Read a MIDI message from the serial port using the main input channel (see setInputChannel() for reference).

Returned value: true if any valid message has been stored in the structure, false if not. A valid message is a message that matches the input channel.

If the Thru is enabled and the messages matches the filter, it is sent back on the MIDI output.

Definition at line 471 of file MIDI.cpp.

void send	(	kMIDIType	type,
