Every {@code Instrument} object * has its own {@code Patch} object that specifies the memory location into * which that instrument should be loaded. The location is specified abstractly * by a bank index and a program number (not by any scheme that directly refers * to a specific address or offset in RAM). This is a hierarchical indexing * scheme: MIDI provides for up to 16384 banks, each of which contains up to 128 * program locations. For example, a minimal sort of synthesizer might have only * one bank of instruments, and only 32 instruments (programs) in that bank. *

* To select what instrument should play the notes on a particular MIDI channel, * two kinds of MIDI message are used that specify a patch location: a * bank-select command, and a program-change channel command. The Java Sound * equivalent is the * {@link MidiChannel#programChange(int, int) programChange(int, int)} method of * {@code MidiChannel}. * * @author Kara Kytle * @see Instrument * @see Instrument#getPatch() * @see MidiChannel#programChange(int, int) * @see Synthesizer#loadInstruments(Soundbank, Patch[]) * @see Soundbank * @see Sequence#getPatchList() */ public class Patch { /** * Bank index. */ private final int bank; /** * Program change number. */ private final int program; /** * Constructs a new patch object from the specified bank and program * numbers. * * @param bank the bank index (in the range from 0 to 16383) * @param program the program index (in the range from 0 to 127) */ public Patch(int bank, int program) { this.bank = bank; this.program = program; } /** * Returns the number of the bank that contains the instrument whose * location this {@code Patch} specifies. * * @return the bank number, whose range is from 0 to 16383 * @see MidiChannel#programChange(int, int) */ public int getBank() { return bank; } /** * Returns the index, within a bank, of the instrument whose location this * {@code Patch} specifies. * * @return the instrument's program number, whose range is from 0 to 127 * @see MidiChannel#getProgram * @see MidiChannel#programChange(int) * @see MidiChannel#programChange(int, int) */ public int getProgram() { return program; } }
