• Start scanning for BLE MIDI devices by calling MidiCommand().startScanningForBluetoothDevices()
• Connect to a specific MidiDevice by calling MidiCommand.connectToDevice(selectedDevice)
• Stop scanning for BLE MIDI devices by calling MidiCommand().stopScanningForBluetoothDevices()
• Disconnect from the current device by calling MidiCommand.disconnectDevice()
• Listen for updates in the MIDI setup by subscribing to MidiCommand().onMidiSetupChanged
• Listen for incoming MIDI messages on from the current device by subscribing to MidiCommand().onMidiDataReceived, after which the listener will recieve inbound MIDI messages as an UInt8List of variable length.
• Send a MIDI message by calling MidiCommand.sendData(data), where data is an UInt8List of bytes following the MIDI spec.
