As I understand it, the note ID is the unique ID of one instance of a note, without regard for any musical parameters. I play middle C and receive note ID x from GMPI. I hit that same key again, and get note ID x + 1. My synthesizer can therefore assign two voices to play this one note, and each voice can be controlled separately; I can send an up bend controller to note ID 1 and a down bend controller to note ID 2.

I mean, if GMPI is going to demand that a velocity parameter is a separate message from a note-on, then the host is going to have to re-associate the MIDI note-on message's velocity with the right GMPI note. From the discussion so far, it seems the GMPI note-on message and the GMPI velocity message would have to somehow use the same note-id value (not the same as MIDI note number), but I don't understand how the note-id numbers wind up the same. I'm just asking for someone, anyone to show me in detail that this would really work. -- Chris G. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
