android_midi #

android_midi is a Flutter plugin for advanced MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) control on Android devices. It provides a high-level API for device enumeration, connection management, and expressive MIDI message handling, powered by native C++ and Kotlin/Java code for optimal performance.

Features #

• Enumerate available MIDI devices (USB, virtual, etc.)
• Open and close MIDI devices and ports
• Send and receive MIDI messages (Note On/Off, Control Change, Program Change, Pitch Bend, Aftertouch, SysEx, raw data)
• Real-time MIDI input/output streams
• High-level musical helpers: play notes, chords, arpeggios, sequences, and phrases with tempo
• Rich event modeling (MidiEvent, MidiPhrase, etc.) for expressive control
• Native performance via JNI and C++

Installation #

Add to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
	android_midi: ^latest_version

Then run:

flutter pub get

Usage #

Import the package:

import 'package:android_midi/android_midi.dart';

Device Enumeration & Connection #

final devices = await AndroidMidi().listDevices();
final handle = await AndroidMidi().openMidiDevice(devices.first, devices.first.ports.first);

Sending MIDI Messages #

await AndroidMidi().sendNoteOn(handle, 0, 60, 127); // Middle C, max velocity
await AndroidMidi().sendNoteOff(handle, 0, 60, 0);
await AndroidMidi().sendControlChange(handle, 0, 64, 127); // Sustain pedal
await AndroidMidi().sendProgramChange(handle, 0, 5); // Change instrument
await AndroidMidi().sendPitchBend(handle, 0, 8192); // Center position
await AndroidMidi().sendSystemExclusive(handle, [0x7D, 0x10, 0x01]); // Example SysEx

High-Level Musical Helpers #

// Play a note for 500ms
await AndroidMidi().playNote(handle, 0, 60, 100, duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500));

// Play a chord
await AndroidMidi().playChord(handle, 0, [60, 64, 67], 100, duration: Duration(seconds: 1));

// Play an arpeggio
await AndroidMidi().playArpeggio(handle, 0, [60, 64, 67], 100, noteDuration: Duration(milliseconds: 200), delayBetweenNotes: Duration(milliseconds: 100));

// Play a musical phrase
final phrase = MidiPhrase(events: [...], tempo: 120.0);
await AndroidMidi().playPhrase(handle, phrase);

Receiving MIDI Data #

AndroidMidi().receiveMidiStream(handle).listen((data) {
	// Handle incoming MIDI bytes
});

Refer to the example app in the example/ directory for more usage patterns and API details.

Platform Support #

Android only. Native code is implemented in C++ and Kotlin/Java for best performance.
