I have some gear that needs Note On with velocity 0. I understand that makenote or similar functions will translate 90 0 0 to 80 0 40, But the midiout which is described as "outputs RAW midi data" should do the but it translates it also. So, ok, its not possible because of existing devices. But a new object with real note offs and multi cannel support would be nice.

And i think every device developer will be standalone compatible in the future, than it is not a good idea to use external libraries.

Thanks in advanced!

translate 90 0 0 to 80 0 40,

Not sure I understand that.

I guess you could always grab the raw midi input, process it, and send it out. Notes off always start with 128 then 2 numbers, so you could use [route 128] then [unpack] and replace whatever you need to replace (sorry, too lazy to check midi specifications).

Sorry, it’s 0x90 (hexadecimal) = 144 Note on and 0x80 is 128 Note off.

you cant send a Note on with velocity 0. It will be changed to a note off.
