## javax.sound.midi
Interface Receiver

public interface Receiver

A `Receiver` receives ``MidiEvent`` objects and typically does something useful in response, such as interpreting them to generate sound or raw MIDI output. Common MIDI receivers include synthesizers and MIDI Out ports.

See Also:
  `MidiDevice`, `Synthesizer`, `Transmitter`

Method Summary
`void` | `close()` Indicates that the application has finished using the receiver, and that limited resources it requires may be released or made available.
`void` | `send(MidiMessage message, long timeStamp)` Sends a MIDI message and time-stamp to this receiver.

Method Detail

### send

    public void send(MidiMessage message,
                     long timeStamp)

  Sends a MIDI message and time-stamp to this receiver. If time-stamping is not supported by this receiver, the time-stamp value should be -1.

  Parameters:
    `message` - the MIDI message to send
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if the receiver is not open

### close

    public void close()

  Indicates that the application has finished using the receiver, and that limited resources it requires may be released or made available. Invoking methods on a receiver which has been closed may cause an `IllegalArgumentException` or other exception to be thrown.
