public class Sequence

extends Object

A Sequence is a data structure containing musical information (often an entire song or composition) that can be played back by a Sequencer object. Specifically, the Sequence contains timing information and one or more tracks. Each track consists of a series of MIDI events (such as note-ons, note-offs, program changes, and meta-events). The sequence's timing information specifies the type of unit that is used to time-stamp the events in the sequence.

A Sequence can be created from a MIDI file by reading the file into an input stream and invoking one of the getSequence methods of MidiSystem. A sequence can also be built from scratch by adding new Tracks to an empty Sequence, and adding MidiEvent objects to these Tracks.

Constructor Detail

Sequence

public Sequence(float divisionType,
                int resolution)
         throws InvalidMidiDataException

Constructs a new MIDI sequence with the specified timing division type and timing resolution. The division type must be one of the recognized MIDI timing types. For tempo-based timing, divisionType is PPQ (pulses per quarter note) and the resolution is specified in ticks per beat. For SMTPE timing, divisionType specifies the number of frames per second and the resolution is specified in ticks per frame. The sequence will contain no initial tracks. Tracks may be added to or removed from the sequence using createTrack() and deleteTrack(javax.sound.midi.Track).

Parameters:

divisionType - the timing division type (PPQ or one of the SMPTE types)

resolution - the timing resolution

Throws:

InvalidMidiDataException - if divisionType is not valid

See Also:

PPQ, SMPTE_24, SMPTE_25, SMPTE_30DROP, SMPTE_30, getDivisionType(), getResolution(), getTracks()

Sequence

public Sequence(float divisionType,
                int resolution,
                int numTracks)
         throws InvalidMidiDataException

Constructs a new MIDI sequence with the specified timing division type, timing resolution, and number of tracks. The division type must be one of the recognized MIDI timing types. For tempo-based timing, divisionType is PPQ (pulses per quarter note) and the resolution is specified in ticks per beat. For SMTPE timing, divisionType specifies the number of frames per second and the resolution is specified in ticks per frame. The sequence will be initialized with the number of tracks specified by numTracks. These tracks are initially empty. The tracks may be retrieved for editing using the getTracks() method. Additional tracks may be added, or existing tracks removed, using createTrack() and deleteTrack(javax.sound.midi.Track).

Parameters:

divisionType - the timing division type (PPQ or one of the SMPTE types)

resolution - the timing resolution

numTracks - the initial number of tracks in the sequence.

Throws:

InvalidMidiDataException - if divisionType is not valid

See Also:

PPQ, SMPTE_24, SMPTE_25, SMPTE_30DROP, SMPTE_30, getDivisionType(), getResolution()

Method Detail

getDivisionType

getResolution

public int getResolution()

Obtains the timing resolution for this sequence. If the sequence's division type is PPQ, the resolution is specified in ticks per beat. For SMTPE timing, the resolution is specified in ticks per frame.

the newly created track

deleteTrack

public boolean deleteTrack(Track track)

Removes the specified track from the sequence.

getTracks

public Track[] getTracks()
