close
void close()
Indicates that the application has finished using the transmitter, and that limited resources it requires may be released or made available.If the creation of this
Transmitter
resulted in implicitly opening the underlying device, the device is implicitly closed by this method. This is true unless the device is kept open by otherReceiver
orTransmitter
instances that opened the device implicitly, and unless the device has been opened explicitly. If the device thisTransmitter
is retrieved from is closed explicitly by callingMidiDevice.close
, theTransmitter
is closed, too. For a detailed description of open/close behaviour see the class description ofMidiDevice
