Hi There, I wasn't sure if your control needs to receive a note (to activate the control), or to send a note. Both are commonly needed, yet SM has no simple "module" made just for notes. So here is a schematic that hopefully you (and others( may find useful...

I made it into three separate modules so that they can be used for other things... - Press button with boolean output - and input, for adding remote control. - Note Receiver - simple boolean on/off output to show when a note is pressed. - Note Sender - use a boolean input to send note on/off to control note length (SM built in Note generator has only 'preset' length).

If you look inside, you will see that to do this, we need to 'hack' into the codes that make each MIDI message - there are many guides to the codes on the internet. The note receiver is a bit more complicated than the sender - some old MIDI keyboards don't send Note-Off, instead they use Note-On but with zero velocity. The receiver is made so that these strange keyboards will still work properly.

Hope they are useful. 🙂
