Midi?

In the midi in DAT, how do I decode/read the message column?

If I press a button on my controller, I get one row append to the Midi In DAT, but 3 in the Midi Event DAT?

Thanks

Check out this link for the full gory details of MIDI messages: [url=http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php]http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midimessages.php[/url]

Lets say you have the message 90 35 49 - in TouchDesigner these are hex numbers.

9 - means “Note On” msg
0 - means channel 1, its a 0-based index of the MIDI channels
34 - is hex for an index of 54, its a 1-based index
49 - is hex for the value, its a 0-based range from 0-127

Thanks for pointing out a bug in the MIDI Event DAT. It seems that the message is repeated for every MIDI In DAT you have in your session, we are fixing this now.

Also the multiple repitions bug has now been fixed in the MIDI Event DAT.
