Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( int  byte1,
int  byte2,
int  byte3,
double  timeStamp = 0 
)
noexcept

Creates a 3-byte short midi message.

Parameters
byte1message byte 1
byte2message byte 2
byte3message byte 3
timeStampthe time to give the midi message - this value doesn't use any particular units, so will be application-specific
MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( int  byte1,
int  byte2,
double  timeStamp = 0 
)
noexcept

Creates a 2-byte short midi message.

Parameters
byte1message byte 1
byte2message byte 2
timeStampthe time to give the midi message - this value doesn't use any particular units, so will be application-specific
MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( int  byte1,
double  timeStamp = 0 
)
noexcept

Creates a 1-byte short midi message.

Parameters
byte1message byte 1
timeStampthe time to give the midi message - this value doesn't use any particular units, so will be application-specific
MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( const void *  data,
int  numBytes,
double  timeStamp = 0 
)

Creates a midi message from a block of data.

MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( const void *  data,
int  maxBytesToUse,
int &  numBytesUsed,
uint8  lastStatusByte,
double  timeStamp = 0,
bool  sysexHasEmbeddedLength = true 
)

Reads the next midi message from some data.

This will read as many bytes from a data stream as it needs to make a complete message, and will return the number of bytes it used. This lets you read a sequence of midi messages from a file or stream.

Parameters
datathe data to read from
maxBytesToUsethe maximum number of bytes it's allowed to read
numBytesUsedreturns the number of bytes that were actually needed
lastStatusBytein a sequence of midi messages, the initial byte can be dropped from a message if it's the same as the first byte of the previous message, so this lets you supply the byte to use if the first byte of the message has in fact been dropped.
timeStampthe time to give the midi message - this value doesn't use any particular units, so will be application-specific
sysexHasEmbeddedLengthwhen reading sysexes, this flag indicates whether to expect the data to begin with a variable-length field indicating its size
MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( )
noexcept

Creates an active-sense message.

Since the MidiMessage has to contain a valid message, this default constructor just initialises it with an empty sysex message.

MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( const MidiMessage )

Creates a copy of another midi message.

MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( const MidiMessage ,
double  newTimeStamp 
)

Creates a copy of another midi message, with a different timestamp.

MidiMessage::~MidiMessage ( )

Destructor.

MidiMessage::MidiMessage ( MidiMessage &&  )
noexcept

Member Function Documentation

Returns a human-readable description of the midi message as a string, for example "Note On C#3 Velocity 120 Channel 1".

double MidiMessage::getTimeStamp ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the timestamp associated with this message.

The exact meaning of this time and its units will vary, as messages are used in a variety of different contexts.

If you're getting the message from a midi file, this could be a time in seconds, or a number of ticks - see MidiFile::convertTimestampTicksToSeconds().

If the message is being used in a MidiBuffer, it might indicate the number of audio samples from the start of the buffer.

If the message was created by a MidiInput, see MidiInputCallback::handleIncomingMidiMessage() for details of the way that it initialises this value.

The units for the timestamp will be application-specific - see the notes for getTimeStamp().
