MIDI Output (note-ON value 127+)

Hi,

It seems that BEYOND doesn't support setting a MIDI channel or Midi Note values higher than 127 when using the Note ON command. Is that a known issue/something which will be fixed in the future?

For reference, I'm trying to add the following command to the Pango Script window in a cue property, but it shows an error and doesn't send any MIDI command out.

MidiOut 0x90, 0x80, 0x7F

As I understand it, the command parameters are as follows:
MidiOut (MIDI command, note, velocity)

0x90 is note on, 0x80 is value 128 and 0x7F is velocity of 127. Is there a way to set the channel?

 

Channel in Bits 5-8 in the first Message

Hello,

I think, you have to transmit the channel in bits 5 to 8 in the first Message-Block.
e.g: 0x81 should be the off note in channel 1
0x9F should be the on note in channel 15

right?

with kind regards,
Daniel

... as i know - the midi standard only defines 127 notes with 127 values each per channel.

 

I'm not sure about the MIDI standard however, the higher values are available in CompuShow (Midi Console designer) up to 256.

I did end up using the NoteOff command instead but was just curious if there were any plans to extend the Midi Range in Beyond.
