One of the things that probably confuses most people is that most commercial software (and hardware in many cases) represents MIDI-related data in a fashion that is not strictly MIDI. For instance, a sequencer note list typically displays notes by note name (as opposed to MIDI note number) and length (there is no such thing as a MIDI note length parameter). Also there are little inconsistencies such as indicating program change commands over the range of 1-128 (whereas MIDI is 0-127) and conceptual niceties such as negative pitch bend values (there are no negative numbers in MIDI). I never understood MIDI very well until I started working directly with the raw data in hex and binary. I suggest that anyone who wants to work seriously with MIDI first learn the basics of these number systems and study the MIDI Spec. >My guess is that if you send a value of 127 it would probably work though >I've >not tried controlling it via midi like I do my Repeater. MIDI controller values run the the gamut of 0-127, and theoretically any value below 64 should serve as an "off" message and any value of 64 and above should serve as an "on". But given the inconsistencies among manufacturers and software developers it's probably best to use values of "0" and "127". -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://salamandersongs.com http://ill-wind.com
