Detailed Description

ALSA clients are any entities using ALSA sequencer services.

A client may be an application or a device driver for an external MIDI port, like USB MIDI devices or the MIDI/game ports of some sound cards. This library allows to easily create applications managing ALSA clients.

ALSA clients are also file descriptors representing a sequencer device, that must be opened before reading or writing MIDI events. When the client is opened, it is given some handle and a number identifying it to other clients in the system. You can also provide a name for it.

Each ALSA sequencer client can have several ports attached. The ports can be readable or writable, and can be subscribed in pairs: one readable port to one writable port. The subscriptions can be made and queried by external applications, like "aconnect" or "qjackctl".

SystemInfo is an auxiliary class to query several system capabilities.

The PoolInfo class represents a container to query and change some values for the kernel memory pool assigned to an ALSA client.

The ClientInfo class is another container to query and change properties of the MidiClient itself.

The SequencerEventHandler abstract class is used to define an interface that other class can implement to receive sequencer events. It is one of the three methods of delivering input events offered by the library.

Input

MidiClient uses a separate thread to receive events from the ALSA sequencer. The input thread can be started and stopped using the methods MidiClient::startSequencerInput() and MidiClient::stopSequencerInput(). It is necessary to have this thread in mind when using this library to read events. There are three delivering methods of input events:

A Callback method. To use this method, you must derive a class from SequencerEventHandler, overriding the method SequencerEventHandler::handleSequencerEvent() to provide your own event processing code. You must give a handler instance pointer to the client using MidiClient::setHandler().
Using QEvent listeners. To use this method, you must have one or more classes derived from QObject overriding the method QObject::customEvent(). You must also use the method MidiClient::addListener() to add such objects to the client's listeners list, and MidiClient::setEventsEnabled().
The third method involves signals and slots. Whenever a sequencer event is received, a signal MidiClient::eventReceived() is emitted, that can be connected to your own supplied slot(s) to process it.

The selected method depends only on your requirements and your preferences.

The Callback method is preferred for real-time usage because the handler receives the events without any delay, but at the same time you must avoid calling methods of any GUI widgets within the handler. Instead, you can create QEvents and call QObject::postEvent() to notify the GUI.
Inside QObject::eventReceiver() you can collect QEvents and call any method you want, but the events are not delivered in real-time. Instead, they are enqueued and dispatched by the main application's event loop.
The signals/slots method can be real-time or queued, depending on the last parameter of QObject::connect(). If it is Qt::DirectConnection, the signal is delivered in real-time, and the same rule about avoiding calls to any GUI widgets methods apply. If it is Qt::QueuedConnection, then the signal is enqueued using the application's event loop, and it is safe to call any GUI methods in this case.

Whichever method you select, it excludes the other methods for the same program. A callback takes precedence over the others. If it is not set, then the events are sent if MidiClient::setEventsEnabled() is called. If neither a callback handler is set nor events are enabled, then the signal is emitted. In any case, the event pointer must be deleted by the receiver method.

Output

The methods to send a single event to the ALSA sequencer are:

MidiClient::output() using the library buffer, automatically flushed.
MidiClient::outputBuffer() using the library buffer. Not flushed automatically.
MidiClient::outputDirect() not using the library buffer.

The two first methods usually require a call to MidiClient::drainOutput() to flush the ALSA library output buffer. The third one bypasses the buffer, and doesn't require the call to MidiClient::drainOutput(). Note that the buffer can be automatically drained by the first method when it becomes full.

After being dispatched to the ALSA Sequencer, the events can be scheduled at some time in the future, or immediately. This depends on the following methods of the SequencerEvent class:

SequencerEvent::setDirect() not scheduled
SequencerEvent::scheduleTick() scheduled in musical time (ticks)
SequencerEvent::scheduleReal() scheduled in clock time (seconds)

When you need to schedule a lot of events, for instance reproducing a Standard MIDI File (SMF) or a MIDI sequence, you may want to use the abstract class SequencerOutputThread.

Memory

There are two memory issues: the memory pool belongs to the kernel sequencer, and can be managed by the class PoolInfo and the methods MidiClient::getPoolInfo() and MidiClient::setPoolInfo(). The library buffer can be controlled using the methods MidiClient::getOutputBufferSize() and MidiClient::setOutputBufferSize() as well as MidiClient::getInputBufferSize() and MidiClient::setInputBufferSize().

◆ MidiClient()

MidiClient ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Constructor.

This constructor optionally gets a QObject parent. When you create a MidiClient with another object as parent, the MidiClient object will automatically add itself to the parent's children() list. The parent takes ownership of the object i.e. it will automatically delete its children in its destructor.

It is necessary to invoke open() later to get the sequencer client handler from the ALSA sequencer subsystem.

Parameters

parent The optional parent object

◆ open() [1/2]

void open	(	const QString	deviceName = `"default"`,
		const int	openMode = `SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX`,
		const bool	blockMode = `false`
	)

Open the sequencer device.

When opening the MidiClient instance, several properties may optionally be set as the device name, the open mode and block mode. Default values are provided for them. After a successful open, an event with SND_SEQ_EVENT_CLIENT_START is broadcast to the announce port.

Parameters

deviceName	the sequencer device name, default value = "default". This is not a name you make up for your own purposes; it has special significance to the ALSA library. Usually you need to pass "default" here.
openMode	the open mode, default value = SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX. The read/write mode of the sequencer. Can be one of these three values: SND_SEQ_OPEN_OUTPUT - open the sequencer for output only SND_SEQ_OPEN_INPUT - open the sequencer for input only SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX - open the sequencer for output and input
blockMode	open in blocking mode, default value = false.

void open	(	snd_config_t *	conf,
		const QString	deviceName = `"default"`,
		const int	openMode = `SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX`,

	)

Open the sequencer device, providing a configuration object pointer.

This method is like open() except that a configuration is explicitly provided. After a successful open, an event with SND_SEQ_EVENT_CLIENT_START type is broadcasted from the announce port.

Parameters

conf	a configuration object pointer.
deviceName	the sequencer device name, default value = "default". This is not a name you make up for your own purposes; it has special significance to the ALSA library. Usually you need to pass "default" here.
openMode	the open mode, default value = SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX. The read/write mode of the sequencer. Can be one of these three values: SND_SEQ_OPEN_OUTPUT - open the sequencer for output only SND_SEQ_OPEN_INPUT - open the sequencer for input only SND_SEQ_OPEN_DUPLEX - open the sequencer for output and input
blockMode	open in blocking mode, default value = false.
