Common soundbank resources include: 31 * <ul> 32 * <li>Instruments. An instrument may be specified in a variety of 33 * ways. However, all soundbanks have some mechanism for defining 34 * instruments. In doing so, they may reference other resources 35 * stored in the soundbank. Each instrument has a <code>Patch</code> 36 * which specifies the MIDI program and bank by which it may be 37 * referenced in MIDI messages. Instrument information may be 38 * stored in <code>{@link Instrument}</code> objects. 39 * <li>Audio samples. A sample typically is a sampled audio waveform 40 * which contains a short sound recording whose duration is a fraction of 41 * a second, or at most a few seconds. These audio samples may be 42 * used by a <code>{@link Synthesizer}</code> to synthesize sound in response to MIDI 43 * commands, or extracted for use by an application. 44 * (The terminology reflects musicians' use of the word "sample" to refer 45 * collectively to a series of contiguous audio samples or frames, rather than 46 * to a single, instantaneous sample.) 47 * The data class for an audio sample will be an object 48 * that encapsulates the audio sample data itself and information 49 * about how to interpret it (the format of the audio data), such 50 * as an <code>{@link javax.sound.sampled.AudioInputStream}</code>. </li> 51 * <li>Embedded sequences. A sound bank may contain built-in 52 * song data stored in a data object such as a <code>{@link Sequence}</code>. 53 * </ul> 54 * <p> 55 * Synthesizers that use wavetable synthesis or related 56 * techniques play back the audio in a sample when 57 * synthesizing notes, often when emulating the real-world instrument that 58 * was originally recorded. However, there is not necessarily a one-to-one 59 * correspondence between the <code>Instruments</code> and samples 60 * in a <code>Soundbank</code>. A single <code>Instrument</code> can use 61 * multiple SoundbankResources (typically for notes of dissimilar pitch or 62 * brightness). Also, more than one <code>Instrument</code> can use the same 63 * sample. 64 * 65 * @author Kara Kytle 66 */ 67 68 public abstract class SoundbankResource { 69 70 71 /** 72 * The sound bank that contains the <code>SoundbankResources</code> 73 */ 74 private final Soundbank soundBank; 75 76 77 /** 78 * The name of the <code>SoundbankResource</code> 79 */ 80 private final String name; 81 82 83 /** 84 * The class used to represent the sample's data. 85 */ 86 private final Class<?> dataClass; 87 88 89 /** 90 * The wavetable index. 91 */ 92 //private final int index; 93 94 95 /** 96 * Constructs a new <code>SoundbankResource</code> from the given sound bank 97 * and wavetable index.
