Letter argument transmits to only one port. Otherwise number specifies both port and channel
Transmit MIDI program change messages
| Name | Type | Opt | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIDI-port (a through z) | symbol | opt | Specifies the port for transmitting MIDI program change messages. When a letter argument is present, channel numbers greater than 16 received in the right inlet will be wrapped around to stay within the 1-16 range. If there is no argument, pgmout initially transmits out port a, on MIDI channel 1. |
| MIDI-port (a through z) and channel-number (int) | symbol and int | A letter and number combination (separated by a space) indicates a port and a specific MIDI channel on which to transmit program change messages. Channel numbers greater than 16 will be wrapped around to stay within the 1-16 range. | |
| (MIDI name) | symbol | opt | The name of a MIDI output device may be used as the first argument to specify the port. |
| channel-number | int | A number alone can be used in place of a letter and number combination. The exact meaning of the channel number argument depends on the channel offset specified for each port in the MIDI Setup dialog. |
| int | input [int] |
In left inlet: The number has 1 subtracted from it and then is transmitted as a program change value on the specified channel and port. Numbers are limited between 1 and 128, and are sent out as program changes 0 to 127. |
| (inlet1) | channel-number [int] |
In right inlet: The number is stored as the channel number on which to transmit the program change messages. |
| float | input [float] |
Converted to . |
| anything | MIDI-input-port (a through z) [list] |
Performs the same function as but without need for the word, "port". |
| (mouse) | Double-clicking on a pgmout object shows a pop-up menu for choosing a MIDI port or device. | |
| port | MIDI-port [symbol] |
The word , followed by a letter - or the name of a MIDI output port or device, specifies the port used to transmit the MIDI messages. The word is optional and may be omitted. |
| list | input [list] |
In left inlet: The first number is the program number +1, and the second number is the channel of a MIDI program change message transmitted on the specified channel and port. |
