Sequencer.SyncMode JDK 1.6)

Description

publicstatic class 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.

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. If the sequencer is being synchronized to a master, the sequencer revises its current time in response to messages from the master. If the sequencer has a slave, the sequencer similarly sends messages to control the slave's timing.

There are three predefined modes that specify possible masters for a sequencer: INTERNAL_CLOCK, MIDI_SYNC, and MIDI_TIME_CODE. The latter two work if the sequencer receives MIDI messages from another device. In these two modes, the sequencer's time gets reset based on system real-time timing clock messages or MIDI time code (MTC) messages, respectively. These two modes can also be used as slave modes, in which case the sequencer sends the corresponding types of MIDI messages to its receiver (whether or not the sequencer is also receiving them from a master). A fourth mode, NO_SYNC, is used to indicate that the sequencer should not control its receiver's timing.

Methods

Hide/Show inherited methods

publicfinal boolean equals (Object obj)

Determines whether two objects are equal.

Determines whether two objects are equal.
Returns true if the objects are identical
Returns: true if this object is the same as the obj argument, false otherwise
Parameters:
- obj - the reference object with which to compare

publicfinal int hashCode ()

Finalizes the hashcode method.

publicfinal String toString ()

Provides this synchronization mode's name as the string representation of the mode.

Fields

Hide/Show inherited fields

publicfinalstatic SyncMode INTERNAL_CLOCK

A master synchronization mode that makes the sequencer get its timing information from its internal clock.

publicfinalstatic SyncMode MIDI_SYNC

A master or slave synchronization mode that specifies the use of MIDI clock messages.

publicfinalstatic SyncMode MIDI_TIME_CODE

A master or slave synchronization mode that specifies the use of MIDI Time Code.

publicfinalstatic SyncMode NO_SYNC

A slave synchronization mode indicating that no timing information should be sent to the receiver.
