CreateTransientLoopback(creationConfig) |
Create a transient loopback endpoint which will live until removed or the service is restarted. Returns a MidiBasicLoopbackCreationResponse. |

GetAssociationId(basicLoopbackEndpoint) |
Returns the association GUID for the given basic loopback endpoint. |
DoesLoopbackExist(uniqueIdentifier) |
Returns true if a basic loopback with the specified unique identifier already exists. |
MuteLoopback(associationId) |
Mutes (suppresses all messages for) the loopback with the given association id. Returns a MidiBasicLoopbackUpdateResponse. |
UnmuteLoopback(associationId) |
Unmutes the loopback with the given association id. Returns a MidiBasicLoopbackUpdateResponse. |
GetActiveLoopbackEntries() |
Returns a collection of all active MidiBasicLoopbackEntry objects. |
Applications creating endpoints for app-to-app MIDI should generally use the Virtual Device support built into the API. However, applications may need to create lightweight loopback endpoints without the protocol negotiation, MIDI 2.0 discovery process, and lifetime management provided by the Virtual Device support. For those scenarios, we have a simple loopback endpoint type.
Loopback endpoints created by the user and stored in the configuration file will persist after the service is restarted or the PC rebooted. Loopback endpoints created through this API call are temporary, and will disappear if the service is restarted. In both cases, this feature requires that the basic loopback endpoint transport is installed and enabled.
Windows MIDI Services is an open source project with all source available on GitHub. We have a great community on Discord as well. Between GitHub and Discord, you should find the information you are looking for.
