8Introduction
9------------
10
11The Android MIDI API ([android.media.midi][1]) allows developers to connect a MIDI device to
12an Android device and process MIDI messages coming from it.
13
14This sample demonstrates some basic features of the MIDI API, such as:
15
16- Enumeration of currently available devices (including name, vendor, capabilities, etc)
17- Notification when MIDI devices are plugged in or unplugged
18- Receiving and processing MIDI messages
19
20This sample contains a simple implementation of an oscillator and note playback.
