ddg.mono

Monophonic Synth Controller for Virtual Synths

Description

ddg.mono provides MIDI message handling for virtual monophonic synths in Max. It implements last/high/low note priority and legato/retrigger phrasing.

Arguments

note priority[int]

optional

An optional integer argument in the range 0 - 2 can be used to specify note priority. The mode settings are:

mode 0 (retrigger): Retrigger on each keypress (default).
mode 1 (legato): When a note is held, new notes ignore velocity.
mode 2 (laststep): Send a noteoff message on last note only.

Attributes

legatomode[atom_long]

Sets the legato mode. Possible values:

0 = 'Retrigger' ( Retrigger mode )
Retrigger on each keypress (default).

1 = 'Legato' ( Legato mode )
When a note is held, new notes ignore velocity.

2 = 'Last Step'

mode[atom_long]

Sets the note priority mode. Possible values:

0 = 'Last Note'
1 = 'High Note'
2 = 'Low Note'

Common Box Attributes

Below is a list of attributes shared by all objects. If you want to change one of these attributes for an object based on the object box, you need to place the word sendbox in front of the attribute name, or use the object's Inspector.

color[4 floats]

Sets the color for the object box outline.

fontface[int]

Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:

plain
bold
italic
bold italic Possible values:

0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'

fontname[symbol]

Sets the object's font.

fontsize[float]

Sets the object's font size (in points). Possible values:

'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'
'13'
'14'
'16'
'18'
'20'
'24'

'48'
'64'
'72'

hidden[int]: 0

Toggles whether an object is hidden when the patcher is locked.

hint[symbol]

Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.

ignoreclick[int]: 0

Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.

jspainterfile[symbol]

JS Painter File

patching_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 100. 0.

Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.

position[2 floats]

write-only

Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.

presentation[int]: 0

Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.

presentation_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 0. 0.

Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.

rect[4 floats]

write-only

Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).

size[2 floats]

write-only

Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.

textcolor[4 floats]

Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.

textjustification[int]

Sets the justification for the object's text. Possible values:

0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'

varname[symbol]

Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.

Messages

int

In first inlet: The number is treated as a pitch value for a MIDI note-on message. Output of the received number and its corresponding velocity value is dependent on the mode attribute and the triggering modes (set using the legato or retrig messages).

In second inlet: The number is stored as a velocity to be paired with pitch numbers received in the left inlet.

Arguments:

MIDI-note-value [int]

(inlet1)

In right inlet: The number is stored as a velocity to be paired with pitch numbers received in the left inlet.
