/**
 * <code>MidiMessage</code> 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</code> 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</code> includes methods to get, but not set, these values.
 * Setting them is a subclass responsibility.
 * <p>
 * <a name="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</code> 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
 * can be converted to integers using this conversion:
 * <center><code>int i = (int)(byte & 0xFF)</code></center>
 * <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
 * hexidecimal 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.
