Method Detail

addDevice

Device addDevice(DeviceDescriptor descriptor,
                 Preferences prefs)
          throws ClassNotFoundException,
                 NoSuchMethodException,
                 InstantiationException,
                 IllegalAccessException,
                 InvocationTargetException

Create an instance of a device driver.

Parameters:

descriptor - the class name of the device driver

prefs - the preferences

Returns:

an instance of the device driver, or null if one cannot be instantiated

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

NoSuchMethodException

InstantiationException

IllegalAccessException

InvocationTargetException

addDevice

Device addDevice(DeviceDescriptor descriptor)

Add Device into deviceList. A new Preferences node will be created for the Device.

Parameters:

className - name of Device class (ex. "synthdrivers.KawaiK4.KawaiK4Device").

Returns:

a Device value created.

getDevice

Device getDevice(int i)

Indexed getter for deviceList elements

removeDevice

Device removeDevice(int i)

Remover for deviceList elements. The caller must call reassignDeviceDriverNums and revalidateLibraries.

Returns:

Device object removed.

deviceCount

int deviceCount()

Size query for deviceList

getDeviceIndex

int getDeviceIndex(Device device)

Getter for the index of device.

getNullDriver

IDriver getNullDriver()

Returns null driver of Generic Device. It is used when proper driver is not found.
