Manually edit volume of MIDI file in Java

[Ravaa]

Hey all, I'm trying to find a way to manually change the volume (velocity) of a midi file before playback, i.e. directly in the code. This is the code I'm using to play my midi files:

import javax.sound.midi.*;
import java.io.*;

/** Plays a midi file provided on command line */
public class MidiPlayer {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
// From file
Sequence sequence = MidiSystem.getSequence(new File("C:\\Sounds\\twinkleaccomp.mid"));

// Create a sequencer for the sequence
Sequencer sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer();
sequencer.open();
sequencer.setSequence(sequence);

// Start playing
sequencer.start();
} catch (IOException e) {
} catch (MidiUnavailableException e) {
} catch (InvalidMidiDataException e) {
}
}
}

How can I edit my code so that I can easily change the midi file's volume before I run and compile the code?

Thank you, any help will be appreciated! :)

The standard API doesn't seem to allow for the controls one would expect from a player. I would like for a pure Java player and examine its API.
