javax.sound.midi.Sequencer.SyncMode
- Enclosing interface:
- Sequencer
A 
SyncMode object represents one of the ways in which a MIDI
 sequencer's notion of time can be synchronized with a master or slave
 device. If the sequencer is being synchronized to a master, the sequencer
 revises its current time in response to messages from the master. If the
 sequencer has a slave, the sequencer similarly sends messages to control
 the slave's timing.
 
 There are three predefined modes that specify possible masters for a
 sequencer: INTERNAL_CLOCK, MIDI_SYNC, and
 MIDI_TIME_CODE. The latter two work if the sequencer receives
 MIDI messages from another device. In these two modes, the sequencer's
 time gets reset based on system real-time timing clock messages or MIDI
 time code (MTC) messages, respectively. These two modes can also be used
 as slave modes, in which case the sequencer sends the corresponding types
 of MIDI messages to its receiver (whether or not the sequencer is also
 receiving them from a master). A fourth mode, NO_SYNC, is used to
 indicate that the sequencer should not control its receiver's timing.

Field Details- 
INTERNAL_CLOCKA master synchronization mode that makes the sequencer get its timing information from its internal clock. This is not a legal slave sync mode.
- 
MIDI_SYNCA master or slave synchronization mode that specifies the use of MIDI clock messages. If this mode is used as the master sync mode, the sequencer gets its timing information from system real-time MIDI clock messages. This mode only applies as the master sync mode for sequencers that are also MIDI receivers. If this is the slave sync mode, the sequencer sends system real-time MIDI clock messages to its receiver. MIDI clock messages are sent at a rate of 24 per quarter note.
- 
MIDI_TIME_CODEA master or slave synchronization mode that specifies the use of MIDI Time Code. If this mode is used as the master sync mode, the sequencer gets its timing information from MIDI Time Code messages. This mode only applies as the master sync mode to sequencers that are also MIDI receivers. If this mode is used as the slave sync mode, the sequencer sends MIDI Time Code messages to its receiver. (See the MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification for a description of MIDI Time Code.)
- 
NO_SYNCA slave synchronization mode indicating that no timing information should be sent to the receiver. This is not a legal master sync mode.
