midiout

midiout --  Sends a generic MIDI message to the MIDI OUT port.

Description

Sends a generic MIDI message to the MIDI OUT port.

Syntax

midiout kstatus, kchan, kdata1, kdata2

Performance

kstatus -- the type of MIDI message. Can be:

kchan -- MIDI channel (1-16)

kdata1, kdata2 -- message-dependent data values

midiout has no output arguments, because it sends a message to the MIDI OUT port implicitly. It works at k-rate. It sends a MIDI message only when kstatus is non-zero.

Warning

Warning: Normally kstatus should be set to 0. Only when the user intends to send a MIDI message, can it be set to the corresponding message type number.
