Transmit MIDI aftertouch messages
| Name | Type | Opt | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIDI-port (a through z) | symbol | opt | Specifies the port for transmitting MIDI aftertouch messages. 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, touchout initially transmits out port , on MIDI channel 1. |
| MIDI-port (a through z) and channel-number (int) | list | A letter and number combination (separated by a space) indicates a port and a specific MIDI channel on which to transmit aftertouch 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 | aftertouch-value [int] |
In left inlet: The number is transmitted as an aftertouch value on the specified channel and port. Numbers are limited between 0 and 127. |
| (inlet1) | channel-number [int] |
In right inlet: The number is stored as the channel number on which to transmit the aftertouch messages. |
| float | aftertouch-value [float] |
