Message Structure

Note On has a structure of 9A BC DD, where 9 represents the Note On command, A represents the

channel number, B represents the octave of the note, C represents the note value, and DD rep-

resents the velocity.

Note Off has a structure of 8A BC DD, where 8 represents the Note Off command, A represents the

channel number, B represents the octave of the note, C represents the note value, and DD rep-

resents the velocity.

Options

The following options are available:

{Note}

You can choose any musical note name (C-B, chromatic).

{Octave}

You can choose the specific octave for the note (octaves 0-10), or chose Any, and the console will

respond when any octave of the selected note is received.

{Channel}

This should match the MIDI Channel for the note command (1-16 or 0-F). If set to Any, the console

will respond when any MIDI channel is sent a note command.

{Velocity} and {VelocityThreshold}

In MIDI, the velocity represents the relative loudness or intensity of the note, where 1 (01) is very

soft, or ppp, and 127 (7F) is very loud, or fff. (A MIDI Note On with a velocity of 0 is a special case

and is treated as a Note Off command).

The Velocity setting specifies the exact velocity in the MIDI Note message that must be received for

the action to be executed. Whenever the exact velocity is received, regardless of threshold, the

event will fire.

The Threshold is an optional way to specify the minimum velocity that must be received for the

action to be executed. In other words, the MIDI note velocity must be greater than or equal to the

threshold value. If the threshold is 0, this parameter is ignored.

For Example:

Velocity 127, Threshold 0 – The console is looking for an incoming MIDI note with a

velocity of 127 (7F). The threshold is ignored.

Velocity 127, Threshold 50 – The console is looking for an incoming MIDI note with a

velocity that is greater than or equal to 50 (hex 32)

Velocity 1, Threshold 50 – The console is looking for an incoming MIDI note with a

velocity that is greater than or equal to 50 (hex 32). If the note with a velocity of 1 is

received, the event will also fire as it matches the velocity parameter.
