midiparse Reference

Interpret raw MIDI data

midiparse

Examples

Inlets

midiin [number]

Numbers received in the inlet are treated as bytes of a MIDI message (usually from a midiin object). The status byte determines the outlet which will be used to output the data bytes.

Outlets

noteonoroff [list]

Out leftmost outlet: A note-on or note-off message. The first number is a pitch value and the second number is a velocity value. The message is a note-off message when the second number is 0.

polypressure [list]

Out 2nd outlet: A polyphonic key pressure message. The first number is a key (note) number and the second number is an aftertouch (pressure) value.

controlchange [list]

Out 3rd outlet: A control message. The first number is a controller number and the second number is a control value.

programchange [number]

Out 4th outlet: The number is a program change.

aftertouch [number]

Out 5th outlet: The number is an aftertouch (channel pressure) value.

pitchbend [number]

Out 6th outlet: The number is a pitch bend value, with a range dependent on the @bendmode attribute.

channel [number]

Out 7th outlet: The number is the MIDI channel number.

Fixed Attributes

These attributes must be set in the object box and determine the behavior of the object at runtime.

bendmode [enum] (default: float)

The hires attribute is used to support high-resolution pitch bend scaling. When the attribute is set to 0 (default), midiparse will accept and output pitch bend integer values in the standard MIDI range of 0 to 127. When the attribute is set to 1, it accepts high resolution MIDI data and outputs float values in the range of -1 to 1. When the attribute is set to 2, it accepts high resolution MIDI data and outputs integer values in the range of -8192 to 8191 (standard 14-bit MIDI high resolution pitch bend range). Possible values:

0 = 'Off (0-127)' ( Standard 8-bit MIDI pitch bend range (default) ) 1 = 'Float (-1 to 1)' ( Uses pitch bend messages in the audio signal range ) 2 = '14-bit Fixed (-8192 to 8191)' ( Standard 14-bit MIDI high resolution pitch bend range )

Possible values:

0 = 'lores'
1 = 'float'
2 = 'hires'

Dynamic Attributes

These attributes can be modified in the code during execution using the set object

midiin [number]

Numbers received in the inlet are treated as bytes of a MIDI message (usually from a midiin object). The status byte determines the outlet which will be used to output the data bytes.
