Position and Timing

Work with playback position, ticks, duration, and speed.

MidiFilePlayer exposes both musical and real-time representations of playback.

Time Models

Use:

• MPTK_Position for time-based seeking in milliseconds,
• MPTK_TickCurrent for tick-based seeking,
• MPTK_Duration and MPTK_DurationMS for total duration,
• MPTK_PlayTime and MPTK_RealTime for elapsed playback time,
• MPTK_Pulse and MPTK_DeltaTicksPerQuarterNote for timing analysis,
• MPTK_Speed to accelerate or slow down playback.

This separation is useful when your application mixes musical timing, UI displays, and gameplay synchronization.

Best Practices

• Use ticks for musical-grid logic.
• Use milliseconds for UI clocks and user-facing displays.
• Apply MPTK_Speed carefully when synchronizing external systems.
