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. The
duration of a tick is specified by the timing information contained
in the MIDI file or
Sequence
object.
In Java Sound, MidiEvent
objects are typically contained in a
Track
, and Tracks
are likewise
contained in a Sequence
.
