# Class MidiEvent

javax.sound.midi.MidiEvent

public class MidiEvent extends Object
MIDI events contain a MIDI message and a corresponding time-stamp expressed in ticks, and can represent the MIDI event information stored in a MIDI file or a `Sequence` object. The duration of a tick is specified by the timing information contained in the MIDI file or `Sequence` object.

In Java Sound, `MidiEvent` objects are typically contained in a `Track`, and `Tracks` are likewise contained in a `Sequence`.
