pgmin

Receive MIDI program changes

Arguments

port[symbol]

optional

Specifies the port (a-z) from which to receive incoming program change messages. If there is no argument, pgmin receives from all channels on all ports.

device[symbol]

optional

The name of a MIDI input device may be used as the first argument to specify the port. The name 'all' can be used to enable the reception of MIDI messages from any port. The name 'none' can be used to prevent the object from receiving MIDI messages from any port.

port-channel[list]

optional

A letter (a-z) and number combination (separated by a space) indicates a port and a specific MIDI channel on which to receive program change messages. Channel numbers greater than 16 will be wrapped around to stay within the 1-16 range.

channel[int]

optional

A number alone can be used in place of a letter and number combination. The exact meaning of the channel number argument depends on the channel offset specified for each port in the MIDI Setup dialog.

Attributes

matchport[int]: 0

If the port argument doesn't match an existing port or device name, set the object's MIDI port to 'none'.
