MidiSequenceFormat describes how the tracks in a MidiSequence relate to each other. It matches the format field of a Standard MIDI File.
| Value | Numeric Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
SingleTrack |
0 |
Everything is on one track |
MultiTrack |
1 |
Tracks play together |
MultiSequence |
2 |
Tracks are independent sequences |
SingleTrack doesn’t mean one instrument. A format 0 file often has all sixteen channels on its one track. That’s why MidiSequenceTrack has a UsedChannelMask, not a single channel.
MultiSequence is rare, and the tracks in a file like that aren’t meant to be played at the same time.
Windows MIDI Services is an open source project with all source available on GitHub. We have a great community on Discord as well. Between GitHub and Discord, you should find the information you are looking for.
