Your web browser is capable of sending and receiving MIDI information through the [Web MIDI API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_MIDI_API). The support for MIDI on browsers is a bit shaky. Please, take some time to configure and test. To our best knowledge, **Chrome** is currently leading on this feature, followed closely by **Firefox**. The other major web browsers are also starting to support this API. **There are two important functions for configuration:**
|
||||
|
||||
- <icode>midi_outputs()</icode>: prints the list of available MIDI devices to the web console. You will have to open the web console using ${key_shortcut("Ctrl+Shift+I")} or sometimes ${key_shortcut("F12")}. You can also open it from the menu of your web browser.
|
||||
- <icode>midi_outputs()</icode>: prints the list of available MIDI devices on the screen. You will have to open the web console using ${key_shortcut("Ctrl+Shift+I")} or sometimes ${key_shortcut("F12")}. You can also open it from the menu of your web browser. **Note:** close the docs to see it printed.

That's it! You are now ready to play with MIDI.

## Notes
|

- <icode>midi(note: number|object)</icode>: send a MIDI Note. Object can take parameters {note: number, channel: number, port: number|string, velocity: number}.
