struct MIDIPacket
{
MIDITimeStamp timeStamp;
UInt16 length;
Byte data[256];
};
One or more MIDI events occuring at a particular time.
Fields
| Name | Description |
|---|
| timeStamp | The time at which the events occurred, if receiving MIDI,
or, if sending MIDI, the time at which the events are to
be played. Zero means "now." The time stamp applies
to the first MIDI byte in the packet. |
| length | The number of valid MIDI bytes which follow, in data. (It
may be larger than 256 bytes if the packet is dynamically
allocated.) |
| data | A variable-length stream of MIDI messages. Running status
is not allowed. In the case of system-exclusive
messages, a packet may only contain a single message, or
portion of one, with no other MIDI events.
The MIDI messages in the packet must always be complete,
except for system-exclusive.
(This is declared to be 256 bytes in length so clients
don't have to create custom data structures in simple
situations.) |
