API Reference
The basic functions of MIDI Jack are provided in the MidiMaster class.
The channel arguments in the following functions can be omitted. In that case, the functions return the values in the All-Channel slot, which stores mixed status of all active channels.
-
MidiMaster.GetKey (channel, noteNumber)
Returns the velocity value while the key is pressed, or zero while the key is released. The value ranges from 0.0 (note-off) to 1.0 (maximum velocity).
-
MidiMaster.GetKeyDown (channel, noteNumber)
Returns true during the frame the user starts pressing down the key.
-
MidiMaster.GetKeyUp (channel, noteNumber)
Returns true during the frame the user releases the key.
-
MidiMaster.GetKnob (channel, knobNumber, defaultValue)
Returns the controller value (CC). The value ranges from 0.0 to 1.0.
-
MidiMaster.GetKnobNumbers (channel)
Returns the list of active controllers.
There are also delegates for the each type of MIDI event.
- MidiMaster.noteOnDelegate (channel, noteNumber, velocity)
- MidiMaster.noteOffDelegate (channel, noteNumber)
- MidiMaster.knobDelegate (channel, knobNumber, konbValue)
In this fork, additional API to toggle MIDI read on / off. By default MIDI read is enabled.
- WindowsMidiInterop.Instance.SetActive (enable)
- Note: This API still have limitation that it is "all or nothing" style.
MIDI Monitor Window
MIDI Jack provides the MIDI Monitor window, which shows the list of active devices and incoming MIDI messages.
The MIDI Monitor window is available from the menu Window
-> MIDI Jack
.
Current Limitations
- Only for Windows.
- Only supports note and CC messages. No support for program changes nor SysEx.
- The MIDI Jack plugin always tries to capture all available MIDI devices. When this bothers you, use WindowsMidiInterop.Instance.SetActive API.
