/**
* {@code MidiDevice} is the base interface for all MIDI devices. Common devices
* include synthesizers, sequencers, MIDI input ports, and MIDI output ports.
* <p>
* A {@code MidiDevice} can be a transmitter or a receiver of MIDI events, or
* both. Therefore, it can provide {@link Transmitter} or {@link Receiver}
* instances (or both). Typically, MIDI IN ports provide transmitters, MIDI OUT
* ports and synthesizers provide receivers. A Sequencer typically provides
* transmitters for playback and receivers for recording.
* <p>
* A {@code MidiDevice} can be opened and closed explicitly as well as
* implicitly. Explicit opening is accomplished by calling {@link #open},
* explicit closing is done by calling {@link #close} on the {@code MidiDevice}
* instance. If an application opens a {@code MidiDevice} explicitly, it has to
* close it explicitly to free system resources and enable the application to
* exit cleanly. Implicit opening is done by calling
* {@link MidiSystem#getReceiver} and {@link MidiSystem#getTransmitter}. The
* {@code MidiDevice} used by {@code MidiSystem.getReceiver} and
* {@code MidiSystem.getTransmitter} is implementation-dependent unless the
* properties {@code javax.sound.midi.Receiver} and
* {@code javax.sound.midi.Transmitter} are used (see the description of
* properties to select default providers in {@link MidiSystem}). A
* {@code MidiDevice} that was opened implicitly, is closed implicitly by
* closing the {@code Receiver} or {@code Transmitter} that resulted in opening
* it. If more than one implicitly opening {@code Receiver} or
* {@code Transmitter} were obtained by the application, the device is closed
* after the last {@code Receiver} or {@code Transmitter} has been closed. On
* the other hand, calling {@code getReceiver} or {@code getTransmitter} on the
* device instance directly does not open the device implicitly. Closing these
* {@code Transmitter}s and {@code Receiver}s does not close the device
* implicitly. To use a device with {@code Receiver}s or {@code Transmitter}s
* obtained this way, the device has to be opened and closed explicitly.
* <p>
* If implicit and explicit opening and closing are mixed on the same
* {@code MidiDevice} instance, the following rules apply:
*
* <ul>
* <li>After an explicit open (either before or after implicit opens), the
* device will not be closed by implicit closing. The only way to close an
* explicitly opened device is an explicit close.
* <li>An explicit close always closes the device, even if it also has been
* opened implicitly. A subsequent implicit close has no further effect.
* </ul>
*
* To detect if a MidiDevice represents a hardware MIDI port, the following
* programming technique can be used:
*
* <pre>{@code
* MidiDevice device = ...;
* if (!(device instanceof Sequencer) && !(device instanceof Synthesizer)) {
* // we're now sure that device represents a MIDI port
* // ...
* }
* }</pre>
*
* <p>
* A {@code MidiDevice} includes a {@link Info} object to provide manufacturer
* information and so on.
