javax.sound.midi.Patch
A Patch object represents a location, on a MIDI synthesizer, into which a single instrument is stored (loaded). Every Instrument object has its own Patch object that specifies the memory location into which that instrument should be loaded. The location is specified abstractly by a bank index and a program number (not by any scheme that directly refers to a specific address or offset in RAM). This is a hierarchical indexing scheme: MIDI provides for up to 16384 banks, each of which contains up to 128 program locations. For example, a minimal sort of synthesizer might have only one bank of instruments, and only 32 instruments (programs) in that bank.
To select what instrument should play the notes on a particular MIDI channel, two kinds of MIDI message are used that specify a patch location: a bank-select command, and a program-change channel command. The Java Sound equivalent is the programChange(int, int) method of MidiChannel.

->patchclj
(->patch bank program)Constructor.
Constructs a new patch object from the specified bank and program numbers.
bank - the bank index (in the range from 0 to 16383) - int
program - the program index (in the range from 0 to 127) - int
Constructor. Constructs a new patch object from the specified bank and program numbers. bank - the bank index (in the range from 0 to 16383) - `int` program - the program index (in the range from 0 to 127) - `int`
get-bankclj
(get-bank this)Returns the number of the bank that contains the instrument whose location this Patch specifies.
returns: the bank number, whose range is from 0 to 16383 - int
Returns the number of the bank that contains the instrument whose location this Patch specifies. returns: the bank number, whose range is from 0 to 16383 - `int`
get-programclj
(get-program this)Returns the index, within a bank, of the instrument whose location this Patch specifies.
returns: the instrument's program number, whose range is from 0 to 127 - int
Returns the index, within a bank, of the instrument whose location this Patch specifies. returns: the instrument's program number, whose range is from 0 to 127 - `int`
