midiin
Description
Listens to a specified MIDI port and output the raw MIDI data received.
Examples
Arguments
port [symbol]
Specifies the port (a-z) from which to receive incoming MIDI messages. If there is no argument, midiin receives from port a (or the first input port listed in the MIDI Setup dialog.)
device [symbol]
The name of a MIDI input device may be used as the first argument to specify the port. The name 'none' can be used to prevent the object from receiving MIDI messages from any port.
Attributes
matchport [int] (default: 0)
If the port argument doesn't match an existing port or device name, set the object's MIDI port to 'none'.
name [symbol]
Set the object's MIDI port based on a device name. The attribute will attempt to do a case-sensitive partial string match based on the attribute's value.
