Midi to mono - need velocity

sambean · 20 Feb 2006

Hi ginocote..

To get the velocity you have to use the midi splitter, I thinks it's the 'data 2' value of status = 144. I know very little about midi, so somebody better confirm this.

N is the number of notes that are being pressed, this can be used to generate a gate signal in code:

gate = (N>0)&1.0;

And the midi 'note' number output is equivalent to pitch..

If you're an early adopter, there's a monophonic synth I submitted in the ea's forumthat uses all these and also portamento..

Cheers

Sam

Yes Sambeam you're right. For anyone who is not sure about the MIDI in synthmaker, a status of 128 =note off, status 144 = note on, data one is the MIDI note (0-127) and data two is velocity (0-127).

Is there a way to do a Monophonic synth without having hundreds of modules to do what the MIDI to poly normally does ?

From what I've learned (and read on the forum), I doubt it. I've heard there are plans to improve the midi side, but atm, it's kind of limited. It would be nice if the primitives would have a channel assigned

(I believe they're all poly-in's) -- Edit Uhmm oops... I mean omni mode 😊 --

. It'd be nice that even b-4 that happens that the code component support midi. That way at least the group members can contrib & help out in the mean time.

To answer your question NAS, if you only have a single synth hooked up, or, your host selects the channel, nope. First you need to lock on to the channel the synth is x-mitting before you can do anything monophonic otherwise. To kick it up a notch, even a single synth can be broken down to use zones x-mitting on different channels.

To make things a bit lighter, the math(s) involved with midi is much easier than dsp.

I think that this has been requested before so its probably on the to do list somewhere also with a float/int code module but theres a workaround for using the code module for maths so thats probably further down the list. It would probably be seperate to the code module though (im guessing anyway) 🙂
