Alsa e Gambas: Invio dati con l'uso di una Classe specifica

Da Gambas-it.org - Wikipedia.

Introduzione

Per definire e gestire gli Eventi Midi di ALSA si può usare una Classe specifica, fornita di Proprietà in "lettura" e in "scrittura" che potranno essere usate per memorizzare i valori necessari dell'Evento Midi, secondo la Struttura snd_seq_event_t prevista dal protocollo di ALSA.
Dichiarando poi una variabile del tipo di quella Classe per ciascun Evento Midi ALSA, si avrà un'area di memoria utilizzabile.
L'uso di tale Classe specifica sostituisce egregiamente e più dinamicamente la Struttura. [nota 1]


Scrittura dei dati dei messaggi Midi nella Classe specifica dei dati Midi

Impostando e usando le Proprietà della Classe specifica

La Classe modello specifica per la gestione delle risorse di ALSA, che chiameremo "CAlsa", va creata con tutte le Proprietà necessarie per la definizione di qualunque Evento Midi di ALSA e sarà così organizzata:

' Definisce le Proprietà della Classe specifica:
Property Type As Byte

Property Tick_o_Tv_sec As Integer
Property Tv_nsec As Integer

Property Source_port As Byte

Property Dest_port As Byte
Property Channel As Byte
Property Note As Byte
Property Velocity As Byte

Esempio di codice

Mostriamo un codice in ambiente garfico che prevede tre Classi:

- la prima è una Classe secondaria, che chiameremo EventoMidi, ed è la Classe specifica per la gestione degli Eventi Midi di ALSA e sarà identica al modello di Classe specifica di un Evento Midi ALSA sopra descritto.

- la seconda è un'altra Classe secondaria, che chiameremo CAlsa, ed è la Classe per la gestione delle risorse di ALSA. In questa Classe saranno attribuiti alla variabile del tipo della Classe specifica della gestione degli Eventi Midi alcuni valori.

- La terza Classe è quella principale e in essa saranno attribuiti alla variabile del tipo della Classe specifica della gestione degli Eventi Midi la maggior parte dei valori per il particolare Evento Midi in quel momento gestito.
Il suo codice, che sarà il seguente, prevede che la temporizzazione degli Eventi Midi, ivi gestiti, sia impostata in modalità tick time Midi:

Impostando e usando solo variabili Globali per ciascun dato della Classe specifica

La Classe specifica della gestione degli Eventi Midi di ALSA può anche solo contenere singole variabili di tipo Globale, ciascuna delle quali rappresenta un membro:

Public type As Byte
Public flag As Byte
Public tag As Byte
Public queue As Byte
Public tick_o_tv_sec As Integer
Public tv_nsec As Integer
Public source_client As Byte
Public source_port As Byte
Public dest_client As Byte
Public dest_port As Byte
Public channel As Byte
Public note As Byte
Public velocity As Byte
Public off_velocity As Byte
Public param As Integer
Public value As Integer

Ovviamente nel codice pricipale di Gambas si creerà un Oggetto (istanza) della Classe specifica degli Eventi Midi ALSA, così costituita, e le predette variabili globali saranno richiamate nel modo consueto attraverso la variabile identificatrice della Classe specifica.


Note

[1] In Gambas una "Struttura " può anche essere sostituita con una Classe avente solo Proprietà (dunque senza Metodi né Eventi).
