1) NOTE MESSAGE (NOTE ON)
Note messages are transmitted NOTE ON
when you play the keyboard.
Each message contains
information relative to the key
that has been pressed (NOTE
NUMBER) and the force exerted
on that key (VELOCITY).
When the key is released, a
message is sent informing
which note has been released.
NOTE NUMBER:
This number indicates which
key (note) has been pressed or
released. Notes are numbered
from 0 to 127; C4=60.
NOTE ON:
Indicates that a note has been
pressed.
NOTE OFF:
Indicates that a note has been
released.
VELOCITY:
Indicates how hard (or soft) a
note has been played.
Generally, MIDI devices with
drum sounds assign a different
percussion instrument to each
note number (key).
