/**
* <code>MIDIControl</code> provides access to MIDI rendering
* and transmitting devices.<p>
*
* Typical devices that are controlled with <code>MIDIControl</code>
* are internal synthesizers (software/hardware) or external
* hardware ports. Devices are virtual, i.e. even if there is only
* one physical synthesizer, all instances of <code>MIDIControl</code> seem
* to operate on its own synthesizer.<p>
*
* General functionality of this control is:
* <ol>
* <li>Querying current state of the device:
* <ul>
* <li>The programs that are currently assigned to each of the 16 channels</li>
* <li>Volume of each channel</li>
* </ul></li>
* <li>Querying the banks of the synthesizer:
* <ul>
* <li>Get a list of internal sound banks</li>
* <li>Get a list of custom sound banks</li>
* <li>Get the list of programs of a sound bank</li>
* <li>Get the name of a specific program</li>
* </ul></li>
* <li>Set the volume assigned to a channel</li>
* <li>Set the bank/program assigned to a channel</li>
* <li>Send short MIDI messages to the device</li>
* <li>Send long MIDI messages (system exclusive)</li>
* </ol>
*
* In Java Sound terms, <code>MIDIControl</code> combines
* methods and concepts of the interfaces Transmitter,
* Receiver, Synthesizer, MidiChannel, Soundbank, and Patch.<p>
*
* In this context, the following naming conventions are used:
* <ul>
* <li>A <i>program</i> refers to a single instrument. This is
* also known as a patch.</li>
* <li>A <i>bank</i> is short for sound bank. It contains up
* to 128 programs, numbered in the range from 0..127.</li>
* <li>An <i>internal bank</i> is provided by the software
* implementation or the hardware of the device.</li>
* <li>A <i>custom bank</i> is installed by an application,
* e.g. by loading an XMF meta file with an embedded bank.</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* The conception of <code>MIDIControl</code> is based on scope and
* abstraction level:
* <ul>
* <li><code>MIDIControl</code> has methods that are specific
* to the device or renderer, and do not directly relate to a specific
* MIDI file or sequence to be played. However, as devices are virtual,
* MIDIControl's methods only operate on this virtual device.
* On the other hand, it is also
* possible to get an instance of <code>MIDIControl</code>
* without providing a sequence or MIDI file; this is done by
* specifying a magic Locator:<br>
* <br><code>
* try{
* <br> Player
* p = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.MIDI_DEVICE_LOCATOR);
* <br> MIDIControl
* synth = (MIDIControl)p.getControls("javax.microedition.media.control.MIDIControl");
* <br> } catch (MediaException e) {
* <br> }
* </code></li>
*
* <li><code>MIDIControl</code>'s methods can be considered
* advanced, low level functionality. This has 2 implications:
* <ol>
* <li><code>MIDIControl</code> is optional, i.e. no Player
* instance is required to provide an implementation of
* it</li>
* <li>Basic media or MIDI player applications will not need
* <code>MIDIControl</code>; {@link VolumeControl VolumeControl},
* {@link TempoControl TempoControl}, and {@link PitchControl PitchControl}
* are sufficient for basic needs.
* </li>
* </ol></li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* A useful function is "Panic": immediately turn off all
* sounds and notes. It can be implemented using the following code fragment:<br>
* <code>
* int CONTROL_ALL_SOUND_OFF = 0x78;<br>
* for (int channel = 0; channel < 16; channel++) {<br>
* shortMidiEvent(CONTROL_CHANGE | channel, CONTROL_ALL_SOUND_OFF, 0);<br>
* }<br>
* </code>
* <p>
* The implementation need not support the various query methods.
* This is a technical limitation, as the MIDI standard does not
* provide a standardized means to query the current program or
* the installed
* soundbanks. This especially applies to external MIDI ports.
* Optional methods must not be called if {@link #isBankQuerySupported isBankQuerySupported}
* returns false.
