I have recently implemented a MIDI Beatbox from the code in Head First Java and would really like to do more with Java's MIDI capabilities. I thought that I might start by adding more, non-percussive instruments to the existing code, but I cannot seem to find a straightforward listing of the available instruments and their int
keys.
Does such a listing exist anywhere for theSoundbank
that ships with the JDK?
DYM like this?
import javax.sound.midi.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Instruments {
public static void main(String[] args) throws MidiUnavailableException {
Synthesizer synthesizer = MidiSystem.getSynthesizer();
synthesizer.open();
Instrument[] orchestra = synthesizer.getAvailableInstruments();
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String eol = System.getProperty("line.separator");
sb.append("The orchestra has ");
sb.append(orchestra.length);
sb.append(" instruments.");
sb.append(eol);
for (Instrument instrument : orchestra) {
sb.append(instrument.toString());
sb.append(eol);
}
synthesizer.close();
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
new JScrollPane(new JTextArea(sb.toString(), 20, 30)));
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}
The orchestra has 411 instruments.
Instrument Piano (bank 0 program 0)
Instrument Bright Piano (bank 0 program 1)
Instrument Electric Grand (bank 0 program 2)
Instrument Honky Tonk Piano (bank 0 program 3)
Instrument Electric Piano 1 (bank 0 program 4)
Instrument Electric Piano 2 (bank 0 program 5)
Instrument Harpsichord (bank 0 program 6)
Instrument Clavinet (bank 0 program 7)
Instrument Celesta (bank 0 program 8)
Instrument Glockenspiel (bank 0 program 9)
...
Here's the complete list, nevertheless. http://www.midi.org/techspecs/gm1sound.php
