MidiSynthesizerSample.java

import javax.sound.midi.*;
 
public class MidiSynthesizerSample {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      int[] notes = new int[]{60, 62, 64, 65, 67, 69, 71, 72, 72, 71, 69, 67, 65, 64, 62, 60};
      try {
          Synthesizer synthesizer = MidiSystem.getSynthesizer();
          synthesizer.open();
          MidiChannel channel = synthesizer.getChannels()[0];
 
          for (int note : notes) {
              channel.noteOn(note, 50);
              try {
                  Thread.sleep(200);
              } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                  break;
              } finally {
                  channel.noteOff(note);
              }
          }
      } catch (MidiUnavailableException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }

Simple Java MIDI player sample

New Year!

• New articles,
• And new project XenoHarmonica

XenoHarmonica - is a musical project. It is a bayan keyboard emulator, Java MIDI application for personal computers.
Now everybody can play bayan (button accordion).

XenoHarmonica is free for education and non-commercial usage.

Program based on Java MIDI API.
In this article I provide an example of simplest MIDI player.

Maybe somebody else going to create MIDI program :-)

Windows XP hibernate mode problem

Do you have a problem with Hibernate mode in Windows XP?
And you can't turn on Hibernate mode from Power Options Panel, it says: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
I found one crasy method how to resolve this problem on my computer (AMD64/1G RAM/MB Asus M2NE/Video Asus N7600/IDE HDD).

• Delete file: WINDOWS\system32\drivers\atapi.sys (it will be restored by Windows).


• Manualy enable hibernate mode (now it isn't throw error message).


• Switch computer to Hibernate mode.

Is it helpful?
