Learning about JEM

In order to begin my work in JEM in accessing midi files and generating the respective visual effects, I decided that I first needed to understand how JEM works and what skills and techniques from JES crossover with it. So, my first step was looking through the Jython Music Library. I realized that this library would contain many useful information pertaining to our project in particular, specifically music import functions. So I did my research on MIDI constants like pitch and duration. I looked up on how dynamics on notes work and how we can measure the dynamics of midi files and use that information to make our visualizations respond effectively.
