Events

statechange

Called whenever a new MIDI port is added or an existing port changes state.

Examples

The Navigator.requestMIDIAccess() method returns a promise that resolves with a MIDIAccess object. Information about the input and output ports is returned.

When a port changes state, information about that port is printed to the console.

navigator.requestMIDIAccess().then((access) => {
  // Get lists of available MIDI controllers
  const inputs = access.inputs.values();
  const outputs = access.outputs.values();

  access.onstatechange = (event) => {
    // Print information about the (dis)connected MIDI controller
    console.log(event.port.name, event.port.manufacturer, event.port.state);
  };
});
