| Package | Description |
|---|---|
| javax.sound.midi |
Provides interfaces and classes for I/O, sequencing, and synthesis of MIDI
(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) data.
|
| javax.sound.midi.spi |
Supplies interfaces for service providers to implement when
offering new MIDI devices, MIDI file readers and writers, or sound bank readers.
|
| Class and Description |
|---|
| ControllerEventListener
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
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
An
InvalidMidiDataException indicates that inappropriate MIDI
data was encountered. |
| MetaEventListener
The
MetaEventListener interface should be implemented
by classes whose instances need to be notified when a
has processed a . |
| MetaMessage
A
MetaMessage is a that is not meaningful to synthesizers, but
that can be stored in a MIDI file and interpreted by a sequencer program. |
| MidiChannel
A
MidiChannel object represents a single MIDI channel. |
MidiDevice
MidiDevice is the base interface for all MIDI devices. |
| MidiDevice.Info
A
MidiDevice.Info object contains assorted
data about a , including its
name, the company who created it, and descriptive text. |
| 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. |
| MidiFileFormat
A
MidiFileFormat object encapsulates a MIDI file's
type, as well as its length and timing information. |
MidiMessage
MidiMessage is the base class for MIDI messages. |
| MidiUnavailableException
A
MidiUnavailableException is thrown when a requested MIDI
component cannot be opened or created because it is unavailable. |
| Patch
A
Patch object represents a location, on a MIDI
synthesizer, into which a single instrument is stored (loaded). |
| Receiver
A
Receiver receives objects and
typically does something useful in response, such as interpreting them to
generate sound or raw MIDI output. |
| Sequence
A
Sequence is a data structure containing musical
information (often an entire song or composition) that can be played
back by a object. |
| Sequencer
A hardware or software device that plays back a MIDI
is known as a sequencer. |
| Sequencer.SyncMode
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
A
ShortMessage contains a MIDI message that has at most
two data bytes following its status byte. |
| Soundbank
A
Soundbank contains a set of Instruments
that can be loaded into a Synthesizer. |
| SoundbankResource
A
SoundbankResource represents any audio resource stored
in a . |
| Synthesizer
A
Synthesizer generates sound. |
| 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.
|
| Transmitter |
| VoiceStatus
A
VoiceStatus object contains information about the current
status of one of the voices produced by a Synthesizer. |
| Class and Description |
|---|
| InvalidMidiDataException
An
InvalidMidiDataException indicates that inappropriate MIDI
data was encountered. |
