midiout
Description
Transmits raw MIDI data to a specified port.
Examples
Arguments
port [symbol]
Specifies the port (a-z) for transmitting MIDI data. If there is no argument, midiout transmits out port a (or the first output port listed in the MIDI Setup dialog.)
device [symbol]
The name of a MIDI output device may be used as the first argument to specify the port. The name 'none' can be used to prevent the object from transmitting MIDI messages on 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.
