<hr/><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>A realtime MIDI output class. </p>
<p>This class provides a common, platform-independent API for MIDI output. It allows one to probe available MIDI output ports, to connect to one such port, and to send MIDI bytes immediately over the connection. Create multiple instances of this class to connect to more than one MIDI device at the same time. With the OS-X and Linux ALSA MIDI APIs, it is also possible to open a virtual port to which other MIDI software clients can connect.</p>
