Okay...thank you for the reply, but it is very cryptic. System exclusive commands? MIDI expander Handbook, SC-88?
Extrapolating here, but I assume there is some documentation on the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/audio/soundbank.gm that is default? If there is, I can't find it and it seemed to be a mystery to Sierra-Bates, as they don't explain it in the book, just provide examples of working code.
Where's the legend to what 32 (Line 2) means when played in channel 1 vs. channel 9? I understand that the note scale runs from 0 thru 127 (Lines 7 & 12).
The Java Sound pages at
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/sound/index.html has nothing, that I can find. It seems strangely undocumented. I'm not a sound engineer, I'm not a musican, I'm just a guy that wants to know the "why" something works.
Thanks,
