MIDI Kinetics Forum

No matter whether I use note out with vel=0 or midiout with note off message I can't get it to work!

I really like this simple keyboard because it has 3 ergonomic octaves:

I've created a pads object and scripted the scale with a vector so I don't have to create each key separately for a typical midi keyboard... everything works great for note on, velocity etc... but when I release I get a hung note of pitch "0" instead of a note off.

With logic X will it not recognize note out with v=0 as a note off? How does one script a custom midi note off in this case?? Please help!

here is my script in simplest form, attached is the interface

decl index= firstof(keys.x);
decl p=notes[index];
MonitorN.value=p;
if (p>0) noteout (0,p,98,1);
else noteout (0, p, 1,1);


Please and Thanks! By the way I LOVE Lemur... it is becoming an obsession.

Seriously...? Nobody can help this little problem...? I can not get a note off and its driving me nuts. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Please.

I think noteoff needs to have velocity 0, but it appears you are sending velocity of 1. I think LPX actually recognizes noteon with velocity 0 as a noteoff, but I'm not close to the computer at the moment.

Also, you can script a noteoff using midiout function instead of noteout function, as I've noticed some daws don't recognize note with a velocity of 0 as a proper noteoff.To do that you need to make a script like-

decl midistr;
midistr= {0x89,note,velocity} //where 0x89 is the midi spec for note off,you need to set the note and velocity.
midiout=(port,midistr);

example:
midistr={0x89,24,127};
midiout=(0,midistr);

You might need to set midi channel, but I haven't been able to get midi channel into this script myself. Maybe someone else with more knowledge can chime in.

So, do you still need help with this script or did you solve it/forget it/do something else?
