ddg.mono

Monophonic Synth Controller for Virtual Synths

Description

The ddg.mono object provides MIDI message handling for virtual monophonic synths in Max/MSP. It implements last/high/low note priority and legato/retrigger phrasing.

Arguments

Name	Type	Opt	Description
note priority	int	opt	An optional integer argument in the range 0 - 2 can be used to specify note priority (see the mode attribute listing).

Messages

int	MIDI-note-value [int]	In first inlet: The number is treated as a pitch value for a MIDI note-on message. Output of the received number and its corresponding velocity value is dependent on the mode attribute and the triggering modes (set using the legato or retrig messages). In second inlet: The number is stored as a velocity to be paired with pitch numbers received in the left inlet.
(inlet1)	MIDI-velocity-value [int]	In right inlet: The number is stored as a velocity to be paired with pitch numbers received in the left inlet.
clear		The clear message will send a note-off message to stop any notes which are currently playing.
laststep		The laststep message will cause the ddg.mono object to send a note-off message for the last note played.
legato		The legato message will cause the ddg.mono object to send its output only when a new note is played.
retrig		The retrig message will cause the ddg.mono object to send its output on each key press (i.e., retriggering previously played notes).

Attributes

Name	Type	g/s	Description
legatomode	int		Sets the legato mode. The mode settings are as follows: mode 0 (retrigger): Retrigger on each keypress (default). mode 1 (legato): Retrigger on new note only. mode 2 (laststep): Send a noteoff message on last note only.
mode	int		Sets the note priority mode. The mode settings are as follows: mode 0: The last note played has priority (default). mode 1: The highest note played has priority. mode 2: The lowest note played has priority.
