Interface Summary Interface Description ControllerEventListener TheControllerEventListener
interface should be implemented by classes whose instances need to be notified when aSequencer
has processed a requested type of MIDI control-change event.MetaEventListener TheMetaEventListener
interface should be implemented by classes whose instances need to be notified when a
has processed aSequencer
.MetaMessage
MidiChannel AMidiChannel
object represents a single MIDI channel.MidiDevice MidiDevice
is the base interface for all MIDI devices.MidiDeviceReceiver MidiDeviceReceiver
is aReceiver
which represents a MIDI input connector of aMidiDevice
(seeMidiDevice.getReceiver()
).MidiDeviceTransmitter MidiDeviceTransmitter
is aTransmitter
which represents a MIDI input connector of aMidiDevice
(seeMidiDevice.getTransmitter()
).Receiver AReceiver
receives
objects and typically does something useful in response, such as interpreting them to generate sound or raw MIDI output.MidiEvent
Sequencer A hardware or software device that plays back a MIDI
is known as a sequencer.sequence
Soundbank ASoundbank
contains a set ofInstruments
that can be loaded into aSynthesizer
.Synthesizer ASynthesizer
generates sound.Transmitter -
Class Summary Class Description Instrument 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.MetaMessage AMetaMessage
is a
that is not meaningful to synthesizers, but that can be stored in a MIDI file and interpreted by a sequencer program.MidiMessage
MidiDevice.Info AMidiDevice.Info
object contains assorted data about a
, including its name, the company who created it, and descriptive text.MidiDevice
MidiEvent 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
object.Sequence
MidiFileFormat AMidiFileFormat
object encapsulates a MIDI file's type, as well as its length and timing information.MidiMessage MidiMessage
is the base class for MIDI messages.MidiSystem TheMidiSystem
class provides access to the installed MIDI system resources, including devices such as synthesizers, sequencers, and MIDI input and output ports.Patch APatch
object represents a location, on a MIDI synthesizer, into which a single instrument is stored (loaded).Sequence ASequence
is a data structure containing musical information (often an entire song or composition) that can be played back by a
object.Sequencer
Sequencer.SyncMode ASyncMode
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 AShortMessage
contains a MIDI message that has at most two data bytes following its status byte.SoundbankResource ASoundbankResource
represents any audio resource stored in a
.Soundbank
SysexMessage ASysexMessage
object represents a MIDI system exclusive message.Track 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.VoiceStatus AVoiceStatus
object contains information about the current status of one of the voices produced by aSynthesizer

Exception Summary Exception Description InvalidMidiDataException AnInvalidMidiDataException
indicates that inappropriate MIDI data was encountered.MidiUnavailableException AMidiUnavailableException
is thrown when a requested MIDI component cannot be opened or created because it is unavailable.
