Synthesizer Connections for MIDI Devices

The synthesizer connection structure describes how a MIDI device is connected to the computer. It is defined by the SynthesizerConnections data type.



 
struct SynthesizerConnections {

    OSType                      clientID;

    OSType                      inputPortID;

    OSType                      outputPortID;

    long                        midiChannel;

    long                        flags;

    long                        unique;

    long                        reserved1;

    long                        reserved2;

};

typedef struct SynthesizerConnections SynthesizerConnections;

clientID: The client ID provided by the MIDI Manager or `OMS ` for an OMS port.
inputPortID: The ID provided by the MIDI Manager or OMS for the port used to send to the MIDI synthesizer.
outputPortID: The ID provided by the MIDI Manager or OMS for the port that receives from a keyboard or other control device.
midiChannel: The system MIDI channel or, for a hardware device, the slot number.
flags: Information about the type of connection. Synthesizer Connection Type Flags
unique: A unique ID you can use instead of an index to identify the synthesizer to the note allocator.
reserved1: Reserved. Set to 0.
reserved2: Reserved. Set to 0.
