Instance Attribute Details

#delta_time ⇒ Object

Modifying delta_time does not affect time_from_start. You need to call the event’s track’s recalc_time method.

# File 'lib/midilib/event.rb', line 9

def delta_time
  @delta_time
end

#print_channel_numbers_from_one ⇒ Object

Determines if to_s outputs MIDI channel numbers from 1-16 instead of the default 0-15.

def print_channel_numbers_from_one
  @print_channel_numbers_from_one
end

#print_decimal_numbers ⇒ Object

Determines if to_s outputs numbers as hex (false, the default) or decimal # (true). Delta times are always printed as decimal.

#print_note_names ⇒ Object

Determines if to_s outputs hex note numbers (false, the default) or decimal note names (true).

#status ⇒ Object (readonly)

The MIDI status byte. Never includes the channel, which is held separately by MIDI::ChannelEvent.

def status
  @status
end

#time_from_start ⇒ Object

The start time of this event from the beginning of the track. This value is held here but is maintained by the track.

Instance Method Details

#<=>(other) ⇒ Object

For sorting. Uses @time_from_start, which is maintained by this event’s track. I’m not sure this is necessary, since each track has to maintain its events’ time-from-start values anyway.

# File 'lib/midilib/event.rb', line 59

def <=>(other)
  @time_from_start <=> other.time_from_start

#channel_to_s(val) ⇒ Object

Returns val as a decimal or hex string, depending upon the value of

def channel_to_s(val)
  val += 1 if @print_channel_numbers_from_one
  number_to_s(val)
end

#data_as_bytes ⇒ Object

Returns the raw bytes that are written to a MIDI file or output to a MIDI stream. In MIDI::EVENT this raises a “subclass responsibility” exception.

# File 'lib/midilib/event.rb', line 65

def number_to_s(val)
  @print_decimal_numbers ? val.to_s : ('%02x' % val)
end

#quantize_to(boundary) ⇒ Object

Quantize this event’s time_from_start by moving it to the nearest multiple of boundary. See MIDI::Track#quantize. Note: does not modify the event’s delta_time, though MIDI::Track#quantize calls recalc_delta_from_times after it asks each event to quantize itself.
