462 Eos Family v2.9.0 Operations Manual
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
represents 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
represents the velocity.
Options
The following options are available:
{Note}
You can choose any musical note name (C-B, chromatic), or use Raw MIDIto manually enter a
value.
{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 {Velocity Threshold}
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, unless the "Threshold at 0 =
Disabled?"box is unchecked.
