midiout

          midiout    kstatus, kchan, kdata1, kdata2

Description

Sends a generic MIDI message to the MIDI OUT port

Performance

kstatus - the type of MIDI message. Can be:

• 128 (note off)
• 144 (note on)
• 160 (polyphonic aftertouch)
• 176 (control change)
• 192 (program change)
• 208 (channel aftertouch)
• 224 (pitch bend)
• 0 when no MIDI messages must be sent to the MIDI OUT port

kchan - MIDI channel (1-16)

kdata1, kdata2 - message-dependent data values

midiout has no output arguments, because it sends a message to the MIDI OUT port implicitly. It works at k-rate. It sends a MIDI message only when kstatus is non-zero.

Warning: Normally kstatus should be set to 0. Only when the user intends to send a MIDI message, can it be set to the corresponding message type number.
