Description

Get a value from the MIDI event that activated this instrument, or from a continuous MIDI controller, and convert it to a locally useful format.

Initialization

iscal – i-time scaling factor

ifn (optional) – function table number of a normalized translation table, by which the incoming value is first interpreted. The default value is 0, denoting no translation.

inum – MIDI controller number

ilow, ihigh – low and hi ranges for mapping

irange – the pitch bend range in semitones

imin, imax – set minimum and maximum limits on values obtained

Performance

notnum, veloc – get the MIDI byte value (0 - 127) denoting the note number or velocity of the current event.

cpsmidi, octmidi, pchmidi – get the note number of the current MIDI event, expressed in cps, oct, or pch units for local processing.

cpsmidib, octmidib, pchmidib – get the note number of the current MIDI event, modify it by the current pitch-bend value, and express the result in cps, oct, or pch units. Available as an i-time value or as a continuous k-rate value.

ampmidi – get the velocity of the current MIDI event, optionally pass it through a normalized translation table, and return an amplitude value in the range 0 - iscal.

aftouch, pchbend, polyaft – get the current after-touch, or pitch-bend value for this channel, rescaled to the range 0 - iscal. Note that this access to pitch-bend data is independent of the MIDI pitch, enabling the value here to be used for any arbitrary purpose.

midictrl – get the current value (0 - 127) of a specified MIDI controller.

ctrlinit – Sets initial values for a set of MIDI controllers.
