Generate a note-on/note-off pair Outputs a MIDI note-on message paired with a velocity value followed by a note-off message after a specified amount of time. This allows for generative MIDI output without having to manage note-off generation. Cycling '74 Max time Notes Pitch TEXT_HERE Velocity TEXT_HERE Duration TEXT_HERE Pitch Output TEXT_HERE Velocity Output (Note-on Velocity, Then 0) TEXT_HERE Set initial velocity Sets an initial velocity value (int or float) to be paired with incoming pitch numbers. If there is no argument, the initial velocity is 0. Set initial duration Sets an initial note duration (time before a note-off is sent out), in any of Max's time units. A simple int or float will set the duration in milliseconds. If the second argument is not present, the note-off follows the note-on immediately. Set initial MIDI channel Sets an initial MIDI channel number. If a third argument is used, the makenote object will have an additional fourth inlet (which specifies MIDI channel number) and an additional third outlet (which specifies MIDI output channel). MIDI note information In first inlet: The number is treated as a pitch value for a MIDI note-on message. It is paired with a velocity value and the numbers are sent out the outlets. After a certain time, a note-off message (a note-on with a velocity of 0) is sent out for that pitch.

In second inlet: The number is stored as a velocity to be paired with pitch numbers received in the left inlet.

In third inlet: The number is stored as the duration that makenote waits before a note-off message is sent out.
In fourth inlet: The number specifies a MIDI output channel. The fourth inlet will only be present if the makenote object is initialized with three arguments. MIDI note information In first inlet: The number is treated as a pitch value for a MIDI note-on message. It is paired with a velocity value and the numbers are sent out the outlets. After a certain time, a note-off message (a note-on with a velocity of 0) is sent out for that pitch.

In second inlet: The number is stored as a velocity to be paired with pitch numbers received in the left inlet.

In third inlet: The number is stored as the duration that makenote waits before a note-off message is sent out.
In fourth inlet: The number specifies a MIDI output channel. The fourth inlet will only be present if the makenote object is initialized with three arguments. Set all MIDI note information In left inlet: The second number is treated as the velocity and is sent out the right outlet. The first number is treated as the pitch and is sent out the left outlet. A corresponding note-off message is sent out later.
If the makenote object is instantiated with three arguments, a four-item list can be used which contains an additional fourth element specifying the MIDI channel number, which is sent out the rightmost outlet of the object. Set all MIDI note information Performs the same function as list. Clear all stored notes Erases all notes currently held by makenote, without sending note-offs. Select a clock source The word clock, followed by the name of an existing setclock object, sets the makenote object to be controlled by that setclock object rather than by Max’s internal millisecond clock. The word clock by itself sets the makenote object back to using Max’s regular millisecond clock. Send note-off messages Causes makenote to send out immediate note-offs for all pitches it currently holds. Duration The duration that makenote waits before a note-off message is sent out. Retrigger behavior Sets behavior when a note is retriggered. The modes are:

repeatmode 0 (default): There is no pre-specified behavior when when you repeat a pitch before the note-off for that pitch has been sent.
repeatmode 1: If a note is still playing when you retrigger it, the makenote object will send a note-off (velocity 0) message to stop the first note and then send a new note-on message.
repeatmode 2: If a note is still playing when you retrigger it, the makenote object will cancel the scheduled output of the first note - only the last played note will send note-off (velocity 0) message. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE This object uses the Max time format syntax. The interval that the makenote object uses to specify the time between not-on and note-off can be either fixed or tempo-relative (it must be a single-valued). An additional third argument can be used to specify a MIDI output channel (the makenote object will then have four inputs and three outputs). Out left outlet: The number received in the left inlet is sent out immediately, paired with a velocity value out the other outlet. After a certain duration, the same number is sent out paired with a velocity of 0.

Out right outlet: The number in the middle inlet is sent out as a velocity value in conjunction with a pitch value out the left outlet. After a certain duration, 0 is sent out paired with the same pitch.
