Retrieve your MIDI device model and manufacturer

See the online demo (requires a MIDI insrument connected to your computer).

Install

npm install jzz-midi-gear
or bower install jzz-midi-gear
or yarn add jzz-midi-gear
or get the full development version and minified scripts from GitHub

Usage

Plain HTML

<script src="JZZ.js"></script>
<script src="JZZ.midi.Gear.js"></script>
//...

CDN (always the latest version!)

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jzz"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jzz-midi-gear"></script>
//...

CommonJS (Browserify and Node.js command line applications)

var JZZ = require('jzz');
require('jzz-midi-gear')(JZZ);
//...

AMD

require(['JZZ', 'JZZ.midi.Gear'], function(JZZ, gear) {
  // ...
});

//...

// start the MIDI engine:
JZZ({sysex:true}).and(function() {
  var inputs = this.info().inputs;
  var outputs = this.info().outputs;
  // enable message handlers on all MIDI-In ports:
  for (var i in inputs) this.openMidiIn(i).connect(function(msg) {
    if (msg.isIdResponse()) {
      var gear = msg.gearInfo();
      console.log('ID Response SysEx received:');
      console.log('   port:    ' + this.name());
      console.log('   message: ' + msg);
      console.log('   brand:   ' + gear.brand);
      console.log('   model:   ' + gear.model);
      console.log('   device:  ' + gear.descr);
    }
  });
  // send the ID Request SysEx to all MIDI-Out ports:
  for (var i in outputs) this.openMidiOut(i).sxIdRequest();
});
// ...
// in Node.js - don't forget to stop the engine when done:
JZZ().wait(500).close();

The expected output will look similar to the following:

ID Response SysEx received:
   port:    Roland RD
   message: f0 7e 10 06 02 41 2b 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 f7
   brand:   Roland
   model:   RD-700GX
   device:  Digital Stage Piano
