Description
Provides interfaces and classes for I/O, sequencing, and synthesis of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) data.
Supplies interfaces for service providers to implement when offering new MIDI devices, MIDI file readers and writers, or sound bank readers.
  • Class
    Description
    The ControllerEventListener interface should be implemented by classes whose instances need to be notified when a Sequencer has processed a requested type of MIDI control-change event.
    An instrument is a sound-synthesis algorithm with certain parameter settings, usually designed to emulate a specific real-world musical instrument or to achieve a specific sort of sound effect.
    An InvalidMidiDataException indicates that inappropriate MIDI data was encountered.
    The MetaEventListener interface should be implemented by classes whose instances need to be notified when a Sequencer has processed a MetaMessage.
    A MetaMessage is a MidiMessage that is not meaningful to synthesizers, but that can be stored in a MIDI file and interpreted by a sequencer program.
    A MidiChannel object represents a single MIDI channel.
    MidiDevice is the base interface for all MIDI devices.
    A MidiDevice.Info object contains assorted data about a MidiDevice, including its name, the company who created it, and descriptive text.
    MIDI events contain a MIDI message and a corresponding time-stamp expressed in ticks, and can represent the MIDI event information stored in a MIDI file or a Sequence object.
    A MidiFileFormat object encapsulates a MIDI file's type, as well as its length and timing information.
    MidiMessage is the base class for MIDI messages.
    A MidiUnavailableException is thrown when a requested MIDI component cannot be opened or created because it is unavailable.
    A Patch object represents a location, on a MIDI synthesizer, into which a single instrument is stored (loaded).
    A Receiver receives MidiEvent objects and typically does something useful in response, such as interpreting them to generate sound or raw MIDI output.
    A Sequence is a data structure containing musical information (often an entire song or composition) that can be played back by a Sequencer object.
    A hardware or software device that plays back a MIDI sequence is known as a sequencer.
    A SyncMode object represents one of the ways in which a MIDI sequencer's notion of time can be synchronized with a master or slave device.
    A ShortMessage contains a MIDI message that has at most two data bytes following its status byte.
    A Soundbank contains a set of Instruments that can be loaded into a Synthesizer.
    A SoundbankResource represents any audio resource stored in a Soundbank.
    A Synthesizer generates sound.
    A MIDI track is an independent stream of MIDI events (time-stamped MIDI data) that can be stored along with other tracks in a standard MIDI file.
    A Transmitter sends MidiEvent objects to one or more Receivers.
    A VoiceStatus object contains information about the current status of one of the voices produced by a Synthesizer.
