MidiNote Command

This page describes the syntax and how to use the MidiNote command.

To use the MidiNote command, type MidiNote or the short cut Mn in the command line.

Description

With the MidiNote command, you send MIDI Note messages via the Midi Out port at the back of the console.

If a MIDI channel is entered in the command, the entered MIDI channel will be used.
If no MIDI channel is entered, the MIDI out channel in the MIDI Show Control window is used.

If a velocity is entered in the command, the entered velocity will be used.
If no velocity is entered, velocity 127 (full) will be used.

If the dot2 is in a session, the MIDI Notes messages will be send only on the session master to avoid double traffic.

If the Off command is used, a MidiNote Off is sent.

Hint:
To double-check the sent MIDI Notes, press Tools and tap under column MIDI at in the MIDI Monitor. For more information, see MIDI Monitor.
