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.
