Letter argument transmits to only one port... Otherwise number specifies both port and channel
Transmit MIDI poly pressure messages
| Name | Type | Opt | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIDI-port (a through z) | symbol | opt | Specifies the port for transmitting MIDI polyphonic key pressure 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, polyout 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 polyphonic key pressure 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 | pressure-value [int] |
In left inlet: The number is the pressure value of a MIDI polyphonic key pressure message transmitted on the specified channel and port. Numbers are limited between 0 and 127. |
| (inlet1) | key-number [int] |
In middle inlet: The number is stored as the key number, to be used with pressure values received in the left inlet. Numbers are limited between 0 and 127. |
| (inlet2) | channel-number [int] |
In right inlet: The number is stored as the channel number on which to transmit the polyphonic key pressure messages. |
| float | MIDI-polypressure-message [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 polyout object shows a pop-up menu for choosing a MIDI port or device. | |
| port | MIDI-port [symbol] |
In left inlet: The word , followed by a letter or the name of a MIDI output port or device, specifies the port used to transmit the polyphonic key pressure messages. The word is optional and may be omitted. |
| list | input [list] |
In left inlet: The first number is the pressure value, the second number is the key number, and the third number is the channel, of a transmitted MIDI polyphonic key pressure message. |
