Playing a sequence received from a transmitter

Question

Hello,
I have this bit of code here which obtains an unconnected sequencer and sets a sequence to be transmitted from it:
//try statement
File myMidiFile = new File("C:\\fileone.mid");
            Sequencer sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer(false);
            ReceiveAccomp ra = new ReceiveAccomp();
            Receiver accompRcvr = ra.getReceiver();
            sequencer.getTransmitter().setReceiver(accompRcvr);
            sequencer.setSequence(MidiSystem.getSequence(myMidiFile));
            sequencer.open();
            sequencer.start();
//catch statementReceiveAccomp, the receiving class (which implements MidiDevice), has this bit of code in the receiver part:
private class AccompanimentReceiver implements Receiver
public void send(MidiMessage message, long timestamp)
           try
                Synthesizer synth = MidiSystem.getSynthesizer();
                Receiver synthRcvr = synth.getReceiver();
                synth.open();
                synthRcvr.send(message, -1); // -1 means no time stamp
                //Play for 1 second
                Thread.sleep(1000);
                synth.close();
            catch (MidiUnavailableException e){/*print stack trace*/}
            catch (InterruptedException e){/*print stack trace*/}
         }The problem is that this plays each note at a specific duration and then cuts each note off, as opposed to the original duration of each note. I'm not sure how I'd get it to play exactly as the original sequence intended.
If anyone has any idea what I'm probably doing incorrectly here that'd be ace, thank you!

The problem is that this plays each note at a specific duration and then cuts each note off, as opposed to the original duration of each note. I'm not sure how I'd get it to play exactly as the original sequence intended.The problem is that it plays each note for exactly 1 second, I'd imagine, because that's how long you're sleeping.
You need to extract the length of the note from the MidiMessage and sleep that long, rather than a hard-coded 1 second.
