pitchbend

pitchbend

(midi module) -- sends a MIDI pitch wheel controller message

Syntax

pitchbend values chans &optional port

Inputs

name data type(s) comments
values an integer or list thereof defaults to 0
chans an integer or list thereof defaults to 1
port an integer or list thereof The MIDI port to send on

Output

output data type(s) comments
first nil This output will always return nil; the pitch bend message is sent out anyway.

Description

Like pitchwheel , pitchbend sends a MIDI message number 224 out on the channel or channels specified. The difference is that pitchbend takes a value between 0 and 127, which is sent out twice as the first and second data bytes of the message, while the more precise pitchwheel function takes a value between -8192 and 8190 (which takes up both data bytes).

The optional input port allows you to specify which MIDI port the message(s) will go out on.

Note OM and MIDI
   

OM can be configured to communicate with any MIDI device. See the chapter on configuring Midishare for more information.
