Can i ask why do not the webmidiAPI use add remove eventlistener?
Would it not been more logical with.

input.addEventListener("onMidiMessage");
input.removeEventListener("onMidiMessage");

and if inputs was an array instead of an iterator.
inputs[].addEventListener("onMidiMessage");
inputs[].removeEventListener("onMidiMessage");

Sometimes the solutions the guys who implement javascript just do not make sense  to me. I guess they have their reasons for implementing it the way they does, but it is totally beyond my understanding of the language.

How come i can search for hours but not come up with howto remove a listener for a port, isn't that fucking strange?

Either it is so cumberly hard to do that noone put the effort into do it. Or it is impossible. If someone put in the effort to do it, please post me the link.
