package javax.sound.midi;

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.
