plugmidiout

Send MIDI messages to a plug-in host

Description

Note: plug-in building for hosts other than Ableton Live is no longer supported. For more information to help you make the transition to creating plug-ins in Max for Live, see Max for Live for Pluggo Developers.

plugmidiout sends MIDI information to the host, where it is routed according to the host's current configuration. The plug-in has no control over the routing of its MIDI output. plugmidiout is analogous to midiout; it expects raw MIDI bytes in sequential order. You can use midiformat to transform numbers into MIDI messages appropriate for plugmidiout.

Arguments

None.

Messages

int MIDI-message-byte [int]
 MIDI message bytes in sequential order. For instance, a note-on message on channel 1 for note number 60 with velocity of 64 would be sent to plugmidiout as 144 followed by 60 followed by 64.
list MIDI-message-bytes [list]
 MIDI message bytes listed by sequential order. For instance, a note-on message on channel 1 for note number 60 with velocity of 64 would be sent to plugmidiout as the list 144 60 64.
reset Reinitializes plugmidiout.
