Thats very good news (2 people work on Midi kit) ;-)

for your keyboard this is correct the 2 bytes you receive are : 
note_number and velocity.
but this is not a key_off message but a key_on with velocity = 0 that 
means key_off.

the midi protocol accept this for decrease quantity of data transmited.

I don't know if you understood what I mean.
