Getting midi messages from Receiver in Java

Question

I am trying to use a receiver so that I can extract midi event information as it is playing. I want to listen for notes played and synchronise them was some event. I have read t

Answer 1

This was the solution for listening to all midi messages.

import javax.sound.midi.*;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class Main {

public static Receiver synthRcvr = new CustomReceiver();
public static Transmitter seqTrans;
public static Synthesizer synth;

public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {
        sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer();
        sequence = MidiSystem.getSequence(new File("test.midi"));

        Sequencer sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer();
        seqTrans = sequencer.getTransmitter();
        seqTrans.setReceiver(synthRcvr);

        sequencer.open(); 
        sequencer.setSequence(sequence);

        sequencer.start();
    } catch (IOException | MidiUnavailableException | InvalidMidiDataException e) {
        System.out.println(e);
    }
}

This is the class the implements the receiver:

import javax.sound.midi.MidiMessage;
import javax.sound.midi.Receiver;

public class CustomReceiver implements Receiver {

    public CustomReceiver() {

    }

    @Override
    public void send(MidiMessage message, long timeStamp) {
        // Process midi messages here
    }

    @Override
    public void close() {

    }
}
