Overview

A Track is a list of events.

When you modify the events array, make sure to call recalc_times so each Event gets its time_from_start recalculated.

A Track also holds a bitmask that specifies the channels used by the track. This bitmask is set when the track is read from the MIDI file by an IO::SeqReader but is not kept up to date by any other methods.

end

#merge(event_list) ⇒ Object

Merges an array of events into our event list. After merging, the events’ time_from_start values are correct so you don’t need to worry about calling recalc_times.

#merge_event_lists(list1, list2) ⇒ Object

Merges two event arrays together. Does not modify this track.

end

#name=(name) ⇒ Object

Set track name. Replaces or creates a name meta-event.

    event.data = name
  else
    event = MetaEvent.new(META_SEQ_NAME, name, 0)
    @events[0, 0] = event
  end
end

#quantize(length_or_note) ⇒ Object

Quantize every event. length_or_note is either a length (1 = quarter, 0.25 = sixteenth, 4 = whole note) or a note name (“sixteenth”, “32nd”, “8th triplet”, “dotted quarter”).

Since each event’s time_from_start is modified, we call recalc_delta_from_times after each event quantizes itself.

          else
            @sequence.length_to_delta(length_or_note.to_i)
          end
  @events.each { |event| event.quantize_to(delta) }
  recalc_delta_from_times
end

#recalc_delta_from_times(starting_at = 0, list = @events) ⇒ Object Also known as: sort

The opposite of recalc_times: recalculates delta_time for each event from each event’s time_from_start. This is useful, for example, when merging two event lists. As a side-effect, elements from starting_at are sorted by time_from_start.
