moscil kchn, knum, kvel, kdur, kpause
midion kchn, knum, kvel
Send stream of noteon and noteoff messages to the MIDI OUT port.
kchn - MIDI channel number (0-15)
knum - note number (0-127)
kvel - velocity (0-127)
kdur - note duration in seconds
kpause - pause duration after each noteoff and before new note in seconds
moscil and midion are the most powerful MIDI OUT opcodes. moscil (MIDI oscil) plays a stream of notes of kdur duration. Channel, pitch, velocity, duration and pause can be controlled at k-rate, allowing very complex algorithmically generated melodic lines. When current instrument is deactivated, the note played by current instance of moscil is forcedly truncated.
midion (k-rate note on) plays MIDI notes with current kchn, knum and kvel. These arguments can be varied at k-rate. Each time the MIDI converted value of any of these arguments changes, last MIDI note played by current instance of midion is immediately turned off and a new note with the new argument values is activated. This opcode, as well as moscil, can generate very complex melodic textures if controlled by complex k-rate signals.
Any number of moscil or midion opcodes can appear in the same Csound instrument, allowing a counterpoint-style polyphony within a single instrument.
midion was originally called kon. As of Csound version 3.493, that name is deprecated. midion should be used instead of kon.
