Constructor Detail

MidiFileFormat

public MidiFileFormat(int type,
                      float divisionType,
                      int resolution,
                      int bytes,
                      long microseconds)
Constructs a MidiFileFormat.

Parameters:
type - the MIDI file type (0, 1, or 2)
divisionType - the timing division type (PPQ or one of the SMPTE types)
resolution - the timing resolution
bytes - the length of the MIDI file in bytes, or UNKNOWN_LENGTH if not known
microseconds - the duration of the file in microseconds, or UNKNOWN_LENGTH if not known
See Also:
UNKNOWN_LENGTH, Sequence.PPQ, Sequence.SMPTE_24, Sequence.SMPTE_25, Sequence.SMPTE_30DROP, Sequence.SMPTE_30
Method Detail

getType

public int getType()
Obtains the MIDI file type.

Returns:
the file's type (0, 1, or 2)

getDivisionType

public float getDivisionType()
Obtains the timing division type for the MIDI file.

Returns:
the division type (PPQ or one of the SMPTE types)
See Also:
Sequence.Sequence(float, int), Sequence.PPQ, Sequence.SMPTE_24, Sequence.SMPTE_25, Sequence.SMPTE_30DROP, Sequence.SMPTE_30, Sequence.getDivisionType()

getResolution

public int getResolution()
Obtains the timing resolution for the MIDI file. If the division type is PPQ, the resolution is specified in ticks per beat. For SMTPE timing, the resolution is specified in ticks per frame.

Returns:
the number of ticks per beat (PPQ) or per frame (SMPTE)
See Also:
getDivisionType(), Sequence.getResolution()

getByteLength

public int getByteLength()
Obtains the length of the MIDI file, expressed in 8-bit bytes.

Returns:
the number of bytes in the file, or UNKNOWN_LENGTH if not known
See Also:
UNKNOWN_LENGTH

getMicrosecondLength

public long getMicrosecondLength()
Obtains the length of the MIDI file, expressed in microseconds.

Returns:
the file's duration in microseconds, or UNKNOWN_LENGTH if not known
See Also:
Sequence.getMicrosecondLength(), getByteLength(), UNKNOWN_LENGTH
