/**
 * A <code>MidiChannel</code> object represents a single MIDI channel.
 * Generally, each <code>MidiChannel</code> method processes a like-named MIDI
 * "channel voice" or "channel mode" message as defined by the MIDI specification. However,
 * <code>MidiChannel</code> adds some "get" methods  that retrieve the value
 * most recently set by one of the standard MIDI channel messages.  Similarly,
 * methods for per-channel solo and mute have been added.
 * <p>
 * A <code>{@link Synthesizer}</code> object has a collection
 * of <code>MidiChannels</code>, usually one for each of the 16 channels
 * prescribed by the MIDI 1.0 specification.  The <code>Synthesizer</code>
 * generates sound when its <code>MidiChannels</code> receive
 * <code>noteOn</code> messages.
 * <p>
 * See the MIDI 1.0 Specification for more information about the prescribed
 * behavior of the MIDI channel messages, which are not exhaustively
 * documented here.  The specification is titled <code>MIDI Reference:
 * The Complete MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification</code>, and is published by
 * the MIDI Manufacturer's Association (<a href = http://www.midi.org>
 * http://www.midi.org</a>).
 * <p>
 * MIDI was originally a protocol for reporting the gestures of a keyboard
 * musician.  This genesis is visible in the <code>MidiChannel</code> API, which
 * preserves such MIDI concepts as key number, key velocity, and key pressure.
 * It should be understood that the MIDI data does not necessarily originate
 * with a keyboard player (the source could be a different kind of musician, or
 * software).  Some devices might generate constant values for velocity
 * and pressure, regardless of how the note was performed.
 * Also, the MIDI specification often leaves it up to the
 * synthesizer to use the data in the way the implementor sees fit.  For
 * example, velocity data need not always be mapped to volume and/or brightness.

     * The way in which an
     * <code>Instrument</code> reacts to a controller change may be
     * specific to the <code>Instrument</code>.
     * <p>
     * The MIDI 1.0 Specification defines both 7-bit controllers
     * and 14-bit controllers.  Continuous controllers, such
     * as wheels and sliders, typically have 14 bits (two MIDI bytes),
     * while discrete controllers, such as switches, typically have 7 bits
     * (one MIDI byte).  Refer to the specification to see the
     * expected resolution for each type of control.
     * <p>
     * Controllers 64 through 95 (0x40 - 0x5F) allow 7-bit precision.
     * The value of a 7-bit controller is set completely by the
     * <code>value</code> argument.  An additional set of controllers
     * provide 14-bit precision by using two controller numbers, one
     * for the most significant 7 bits and another for the least significant
     * 7 bits.  Controller numbers 0 through 31 (0x00 - 0x1F) control the
     * most significant 7 bits of 14-bit controllers; controller numbers
     * 32 through 63 (0x20 - 0x3F) control the least significant 7 bits of
     * these controllers.  For example, controller number 7 (0x07) controls
     * the upper 7 bits of the channel volume controller, and controller
     * number 39 (0x27) controls the lower 7 bits.
     * The value of a 14-bit controller is determined
     * by the interaction of the two halves.  When the most significant 7 bits
     * of a controller are set (using controller numbers 0 through 31), the
     * lower 7 bits are automatically set to 0.  The corresponding controller
     * number for the lower 7 bits may then be used to further modulate the
     * controller value.
