Description

Provides interfaces and classes for I/O, sequencing, and synthesis of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) data.

See also:

ControllerEventListener View Source	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.
Instrument View Source	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.
InvalidMidiDataException View Source	An `InvalidMidiDataException` indicates that inappropriate MIDI data was encountered.
MetaEventListener View Source	The `MetaEventListener` interface should be implemented by classes whose instances need to be notified when a `Sequencer` has processed a `MetaMessage`.
MetaMessage View Source	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.
MidiChannel View Source	A `MidiChannel` object represents a single MIDI channel.
MidiDevice View Source	`MidiDevice` is the base interface for all MIDI devices.
MidiDevice.Info View Source	A `MidiDevice.Info` object contains assorted data about a `MidiDevice`, including its name, the company who created it, and descriptive text.
MidiEvent View Source	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.
MidiFileFormat View Source	A `MidiFileFormat` object encapsulates a MIDI file's type, as well as its length and timing information.
MidiMessage View Source	`MidiMessage` is the base class for MIDI messages.
MidiSystem View Source	The `MidiSystem` class provides access to the installed MIDI system resources, including devices such as synthesizers, sequencers, and MIDI input and output ports.
MidiUnavailableException View Source	A `MidiUnavailableException` is thrown when a requested MIDI component cannot be opened or created because it is unavailable.
Patch View Source	A `Patch` object represents a location, on a MIDI synthesizer, into which a single instrument is stored (loaded).
Receiver View Source	A `Receiver` receives `MidiEvent` objects and typically does something useful in response, such as interpreting them to generate sound or raw MIDI output.
Sequence View Source	A `Sequence` is a data structure containing musical information (often an entire song or composition) that can be played back by a `Sequencer` object.
Sequencer View Source	A hardware or software device that plays back a MIDI `sequence` is known as a sequencer.
Sequencer.SyncMode View Source	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.
ShortMessage View Source	A `ShortMessage` contains a MIDI message that has at most two data bytes following its status byte.
Soundbank View Source	A `Soundbank` contains a set of `Instruments` that can be loaded into a `Synthesizer`.
SoundbankResource View Source	A `SoundbankResource` represents any audio resource stored in a `Soundbank`.
Synthesizer View Source	A `Synthesizer` generates sound.
SysexMessage View Source	A `SysexMessage` object represents a MIDI system exclusive message.
Track View Source	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.
Transmitter View Source	A `Transmitter` sends `MidiEvent` objects to one or more `Receivers`.
VoiceStatus View Source	A `VoiceStatus` object contains information about the current status of one of the voices produced by a `Synthesizer`.
