How it works

Turn your keyboard into MIDI piano...

This is not a sample of fine coding style, but our goal is to demonstrate how simple creation of MIDI widgets can be.

Note that we send a note-off message during the window initialization. It initializes MIDI driver when the page is loaded, so we don't have delays when playing a note, as in the previous example.

See the same example implemented with JZZ.
