setTrackMute

void setTrackMute​(int track,
                  boolean mute)

Sets the mute state for a track. This method may fail for a number of reasons. For example, the track number specified may not be valid for the current sequence, or the sequencer may not support this functionality. An application which needs to verify whether this operation succeeded should follow this call with a call to getTrackMute(int).

Parameters:

track - the track number. Tracks in the current sequence are numbered from 0 to the number of tracks in the sequence minus 1.

mute - the new mute state for the track. true implies the track should be muted, false implies the track should be unmuted.

See Also:

getSequence()

getTrackMute

boolean getTrackMute​(int track)

Obtains the current mute state for a track. The default mute state for all tracks which have not been muted is false. In any case where the specified track has not been muted, this method should return false. This applies if the sequencer does not support muting of tracks, and if the specified track index is not valid.

Parameters:

track - the track number. Tracks in the current sequence are numbered from 0 to the number of tracks in the sequence minus 1.

Returns:

true if muted, false if not

setTrackSolo

void setTrackSolo​(int track,
                  boolean solo)

Parameters:

track - the track number. Tracks in the current sequence are numbered from 0 to the number of tracks in the sequence minus 1.

solo - the new solo state for the track. true implies the track should be solo'd, false implies the track should not be solo'd.

See Also:

getSequence()

getTrackSolo

boolean getTrackSolo​(int track)

Obtains the current solo state for a track. The default mute state for all tracks which have not been solo'd is false. In any case where the specified track has not been solo'd, this method should return false. This applies if the sequencer does not support soloing of tracks, and if the specified track index is not valid.

Parameters:

track - the track number. Tracks in the current sequence are numbered from 0 to the number of tracks in the sequence minus 1.

Returns:

true if solo'd, false if not

addMetaEventListener

boolean addMetaEventListener​(MetaEventListener listener)

Registers a meta-event listener to receive notification whenever a meta-event is encountered in the sequence and processed by the sequencer. This method can fail if, for instance,this class of sequencer does not support meta-event notification.

Parameters:

Returns:

true if the listener was successfully added, otherwise false

See Also:

removeMetaEventListener(javax.sound.midi.MetaEventListener), MetaEventListener, MetaMessage

Removes a controller event listener's interest in one or more types of controller event. The controllers argument is an array of MIDI numbers corresponding to the controllers for which the listener should no longer receive change notifications. To completely remove this listener from the list of registered listeners, pass in null for controllers. The returned array contains the MIDI controller numbers for which the listener will now receive events. The array has a length of 0 if the listener will not receive change notifications for any controllers.

Parameters:

listener - old listener

controllers - the MIDI controller numbers for which change notification should be cancelled, or null to cancel for all controllers
