NAME
MIDI::RtMidi::FFI - Perl bindings for RtMidi.
VERSION
version 0.01
SYNOPSIS
use MIDI::RtMidi::FFI ':all';
use MIDI::Event;
my $device = rtmidi_out_create( RTMIDI_API_UNIX_JACK, 'perl-jack' );
my $port_count = rtmidi_get_port_count( $device );
my $synth_port = grep {
rtmidi_get_port_name( $device, $_ ) =~ /synth/i
} 0..($port_count-1);
rtmidi_open_port( $device, $synth_port, 'my synth' );
rtmidi_out_send_message(
$device,
${ MIDI::Event::encode([[ note_on => 0, 0, 0x40, 0x5a ]], { never_add_eot => 1 }) }
);DESCRIPTION
RtMidi provides a common API for realtime MIDI input/output supporting ALSA, JACK, CoreMIDI and Windows Multimedia.
MIDI::RtMidi::FFI provides a more-or-less direct binding to RtMidi's C Interface. MIDI::RtMidi::FFI should work with v3.0.0, v4.0.0 and possibly later versions of librtmidi.
Check out MIDI::RtMidi::FFI::Device for an OO interface to this module.

FUNCTIONS
rtmidi_get_compiled_api
rtmidi_get_compiled_api( $return_apis );
rtmidi_get_compiled_api( 1 );Returns available APIs.
Pass a true value to return an array ref of available APIs as RT_API constants, otherwise a count of available APIs is returned.
rtmidi_api_display_name
rtmidi_api_display_name( $api );From v4.0.0. Returns the associated display name for a RTMIDI_API constant.
rtmidi_api_name
rtmidi_api_name( $api );From v4.0.0. Returns the associated name for a given RTMIDI_API constant.
rtmidi_compiled_api_by_name
rtmidi_compiled_api_by_name( $name );From v4.0.0. Returns the associated RTMIDI_API constant for a given name.
rtmidi_open_port
rtmidi_open_port( $device, $port, $name );Open a MIDI port.
rtmidi_open_virtual_port
rtmidi_open_virtual_port( $device, $name );Creates a virtual MIDI port to which other software applications can connect.
rtmidi_close_port
rtmidi_close_port( $device );Close a MIDI connection.
rtmidi_get_port_count
rtmidi_get_port_count( $device );Return the number of available MIDI ports.
rtmidi_get_port_name
rtmidi_get_port_name( $device, $port );Return the name for the specified MIDI input port number.
rtmidi_in_create_default
rtmidi_in_create_default();Create a default MIDI in device with no initial values.
rtmidi_in_create
rtmidi_in_create( $api, $name, $queuesize );Create a MIDI in device with initial values.
rtmidi_in_free
rtmidi_in_free( $device );Free the given MIDI in device.
rtmidi_in_get_current_api
rtmidi_in_get_current_api( $device );Return the RTMIDI_API constant for the given device.
rtmidi_in_set_callback
rtmidi_in_set_callback( $device, $coderef, $data );Set a callback function to be invoked for incoming MIDI messages.
Your callback receives the timestamp of the event, the message and the data you set while defining the callback. Due to the way params are packed, this data can only be a simple scalar, not a reference.
NB This is not recommended in the current implementation. If a message arrives while the callback is already running, your program will segfault!
rtmidi_in_cancel_callback
rtmidi_in_cancel_callback( $device );Cancel use of the current callback function (if one exists).
rtmidi_in_ignore_types
rtmidi_in_ignore_types( $device, $ignore_sysex, $ignore_timing, $ignore_sensing );Specify whether certain MIDI message types should be queued or ignored during input.
rtmidi_out_create_default
rtmidi_out_create_default();Create a default MIDI out device with no initial values.
rtmidi_out_create
rtmidi_out_create( $api, $name );Create a MIDI out device with initial values.
rtmidi_out_free
rtmidi_out_free( $device );Free the given MIDI out device.
rtmidi_out_get_current_api
rtmidi_out_get_current_api( $device );Return the RTMIDI_API constant for the given device.
rtmidi_out_send_message
rtmidi_out_send_message( $device, $message );Send a single message out an open MIDI output port.
