## Class MidiEvent

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.sound.midi.MidiEvent

-     public class MidiEvent
      extends Object

  MIDI events contain a MIDI message and a corresponding time-stamp expressed in ticks, and can represent the MIDI event information stored in a MIDI file or a ``Sequence`` object. The duration of a tick is specified by the timing information contained in the MIDI file or `Sequence` object.

  In Java Sound, `MidiEvent` objects are typically contained in a ``Track``, and `Tracks` are likewise contained in a `Sequence`.
