/**
* {@code MidiMessage} is the base class for MIDI messages. They include not
* only the standard MIDI messages that a synthesizer can respond to, but also
* "meta-events" that can be used by sequencer programs. There are meta-events
* for such information as lyrics, copyrights, tempo indications, time and key
* signatures, markers, etc. For more information, see the Standard MIDI Files
* 1.0 specification, which is part of the Complete MIDI 1.0 Detailed
* Specification published by the MIDI Manufacturer's Association
* (<a href = http://www.midi.org>http://www.midi.org</a>).
* <p>
* The base {@code MidiMessage} class provides access to three types of
* information about a MIDI message:
* <ul>
* <li>The messages's status byte</li>
* <li>The total length of the message in bytes (the status byte plus any data
* bytes)</li>
* <li>A byte array containing the complete message</li>
* </ul>
*
* {@code MidiMessage} includes methods to get, but not set, these values.
* Setting them is a subclass responsibility.
* <p>
* <a id="integersVsBytes"></a> The MIDI standard expresses MIDI data in
* bytes. However, because Java<sup>TM</sup> uses signed bytes, the Java Sound
* API uses integers instead of bytes when expressing MIDI data. For example,
* the {@link #getStatus()} method of {@code MidiMessage} returns MIDI status
* bytes as integers. If you are processing MIDI data that originated outside
* Java Sound and now is encoded as signed bytes, the bytes can be
* converted to integers using this conversion:
* <p style="text-align:center">
* {@code int i = (int)(byte & 0xFF)}
* <p>
* If you simply need to pass a known MIDI byte value as a method parameter, it
* can be expressed directly as an integer, using (for example) decimal or
* hexadecimal notation. For instance, to pass the "active sensing" status byte
* as the first argument to ShortMessage's
* {@link ShortMessage#setMessage(int) setMessage(int)} method, you can express
* it as 254 or 0xFE.
