I'm using the sequencer to play a sequence and I need to jump to an other part of the sequence when a certain tick is reached. Imagine a loop that when we reach tick number "y" we jump back to tick number "x". But I'm not doing a loop so the built in looping methods won't work for me because sometimes I have to jump forward and that is not allowed .
At the moment I'm using a swing timer that fires a getTickPosition() every millisecond until I reach my desired tick but this is giving me slightly inconsistent results and I have a feeling it is using a lot of CPU for a fairly simple task.
I wish there was an event listener that would notify me when a certain tick is processed by the sequencer or even if I could be notified each time a new tick is processed so that I can do a check to see if it was the tick I was waiting for.
I wonder how the sequencer does it internally for knowing when the loop end is.
Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
