mc.miditarget
Description
The mc.miditarget object lets you use the channel number of incoming MIDI data (in the form of midievent messages produced by the midiparse object) to target individual instances of objects inside the MC wrapper. Normally MIDI channel 1 is mapped to MC channel 1, but mc.miditarget also has an MPE mode that maps MPE global MIDI channel 1 to MC channel 0 (targeting all instances) and MIDI channel 2 to MC channel 1. Objects that can work with messages from mc.miditarget include mc.vst~ and mc.sfizz~.
Arguments
None.
Attributes
mpemode [int] (default: 0)
The mpemode attribute determines the channel mapping behavior of mc.miditarget. The MPE specification uses MIDI channel 1 for events that affect all notes; channels 2 - 16 are used for note events and per-note after touch, pitch bend, and control changes.
When mpemode is enabled, MIDI messages on channels 2 - 16 are mapped to MC channels 1 - 15. MIDI messages on channel 1 will be mapped to MC channel 0, which targets all instances inside an object using the MC wrapper. When mpemode is disabled, MIDI messages on channel 1 are mapped to MC channel 1, MIDI channel 2 is mapped to MC channel 2, and so on.
