Examples
Arguments
channel [int]
Sets an initial value for the MIDI channel of the outgoing messages. Channel numbers greater than 16 will be wrapped around to stay within the 1-16 range. If there is no argument, the initial channel number is 1.

ignoreclick [int] (default: 0)

patching_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 100. 0.)
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position [2 floats]
Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.
presentation [int] (default: 0)
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect [4 floats] (default: 0. 0. 0. 0.)
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.
rect [4 floats]
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).
size [2 floats]
Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.
textcolor [float]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification [int]
Text Justification
Possible values:
0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'

Messages
bang
int
Arguments
In left-middle inlet: The number is stored as the velocity for either a note-on or a note-off message. If no number has been received yet, the velocity for note-ons is 64, and the velocity for note-offs is 0.
In right-middle inlet: The number is stored as the indicator of whether outgoing messages should be note-ons or note-offs. If the number is not 0, xnoteout will send out a note-on message. If the number is 0, xnoteout will send out a note-off message with a release velocity. If no number has been received yet, it is initially 1 (note-on).
In right inlet: The number is stored as the channel for the MIDI message sent out by xnoteout. Channel numbers greater than 16 will be wrapped around to stay within the 1-16 range.

Output
int
When a pitch value is received, a complete MIDI note-on or note-off message is sent out the outlet, byte-by-byte. Whereas a note-on with a velocity of 0 is most commonly used to indicate a note-off, xnoteout sends out the MIDI note-off command and uses the specified velocity as a release velocity.
