Class ShortMessage

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable

    public class ShortMessage
extends MidiMessage
    A ShortMessage contains a MIDI message that has at most two data bytes following its status byte. The types of MIDI message that satisfy this criterion are channel voice, channel mode, system common, and system real-time--in other words, everything except system exclusive and meta-events. The ShortMessage class provides methods for getting and setting the contents of the MIDI message.

    A number of ShortMessage methods have integer parameters by which you specify a MIDI status or data byte. If you know the numeric value, you can express it directly. For system common and system real-time messages, you can often use the corresponding fields of ShortMessage, such as SYSTEM_RESET. For channel messages, the upper four bits of the status byte are specified by a command value and the lower four bits are specified by a MIDI channel number. To convert incoming MIDI data bytes that are in the form of Java's signed bytes, you can use the conversion code given in the MidiMessage class description.

    • Constructor Detail

      • ShortMessage

        public ShortMessage()
        Constructs a new ShortMessage. The contents of the new message are guaranteed to specify a valid MIDI message. Subsequently, you may set the contents of the message using one of the setMessage methods.
        See Also:
        setMessage(int)

      • ShortMessage

        public ShortMessage(int command,
            int channel,
            int data1,
            int data2)
             throws InvalidMidiDataException
        Constructs a new ShortMessage which represents a channel MIDI message that takes up to two data bytes. If the message only takes one data byte, the second data byte is ignored. If the message does not take any data bytes, both data bytes are ignored. The contents of the message can be changed by using one of the setMessage methods.
        Parameters:
        command - the MIDI command represented by this message
        channel - the channel associated with the message
        data1 - the first data byte
        data2 - the second data byte
        Throws:
        InvalidMidiDataException - if the command value, channel value or all data bytes belonging to the message do not specify a valid MIDI message

      • ShortMessage

        protected ShortMessage(byte[] data)
        Constructs a new ShortMessage.
        Parameters:
        data - an array of bytes containing the complete message. The message data may be changed using the setMessage method.
