IDirectMusicPort

The IDirectMusicPort interface provides access to a DirectMusicPort object, which represents a device that sends or receives music data. The input port of an MPU-401, the output port of an MPU-401, the Microsoft Software Synthesizer, and an IHV-provided filter are all ports. A physical device such as an MPU-401 might provide multiple ports. A single port, however, cannot both capture and render data.

For an overview, see Using Ports.
