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 {@link #SYSTEM_RESET 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 {@link MidiMessage} class description.

public static final int MIDI_TIME_CODE

Status byte for MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame message (0xF1, or 241).

NOTE_OFF

public static final int NOTE_OFF

Command value for Note Off message (0x80, or 128)

NOTE_ON

public static final int NOTE_ON

Command value for Note On message (0x90, or 144)

SONG_POSITION_POINTER

public static final int SONG_POSITION_POINTER

Status byte for Song Position Pointer message (0xF2, or 242).

SONG_SELECT

public static final int SONG_SELECT

Status byte for MIDI Song Select message (0xF3, or 243).

START

public static final int START

Status byte for Start message (0xFA, or 250).

STOP

public static final int STOP

Status byte for Stop message (0xFC, or 252).

SYSTEM_RESET

public static final int SYSTEM_RESET

Status byte for System Reset message (0xFF, or 255).

TIMING_CLOCK

public static final int TIMING_CLOCK

Status byte for Timing Clock messagem (0xF8, or 248).

TUNE_REQUEST

public static final int TUNE_REQUEST

Status byte for Tune Request message (0xF6, or 246).

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.

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.

clone

public Object clone()

Creates a new object of the same class and with the same contents as this object.

Overrides:

clone in class MidiMessage

Returns:

a clone of this instance.

getChannel

public int getChannel()

Obtains the MIDI channel associated with this event. This method assumes that the event is a MIDI channel message; if not, the return value will not be meaningful.

Returns:

MIDI channel associated with the message.

getCommand

public int getCommand()

Obtains the MIDI command associated with this event. This method assumes that the event is a MIDI channel message; if not, the return value will not be meaningful.

getData1

public int getData1()

Obtains the first data byte in the message.

Returns:

the value of the data1 field

getData2

public int getData2()

Obtains the second data byte in the message.

Returns:

the value of the data2 field

getDataLength

protected final int getDataLength(int status)
                           throws InvalidMidiDataException

Retrieves the number of data bytes associated with a particular status byte value.

Parameters:

status - status byte value, which must represent a short MIDI message

Returns:

data length in bytes (0, 1, or 2)

Throws:

InvalidMidiDataException

setMessage

public void setMessage(int status)
                throws InvalidMidiDataException

Sets the parameters for a MIDI message that takes no data bytes.

Parameters:

status - the MIDI status byte

Throws:

InvalidMidiDataException

setMessage

public void setMessage(int status,
                       int data1,
                       int data2)
                throws InvalidMidiDataException

Sets the parameters for a MIDI message that takes one or two data bytes. If the message takes only one data byte, the second data byte is ignored; if the message does not take any data bytes, both data bytes are ignored.

Parameters:

status - the MIDI status byte

data1 - the first data byte

data2 - the second data byte

Throws:

InvalidMidiDataException

setMessage

public void setMessage(int command,
                       int channel,
                       int data1,
                       int data2)
                throws InvalidMidiDataException

Sets the short message parameters for a channel message which 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.

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
