Title: OutputMidiMsg
Post by artkau on Jun 12^th, 2007, 7:46am

Hi all, I'm writing my own control software for our band rig. Can someone please give me a 'for dummies' rundown on how to use the parameters of the OutputMidiMsg function to send Control Change messages? I'd really like to understand the purposes of Port, Status, Data1 and Data2

Thanks!
MIDI Ox is the Best!

Port is the port number used to identify the output port.
Status is the MIDI status byte you want to send to identify the message.
Data1 is the Data1 value you want to send as part of the message.
Data2 is the Data2 value you want to send as part of the message, where appropriate.

Good MIDI primer:

Thanks Peter! I managed to get it right with a fair amount of guess work. I've started writing an interface in c# for my Behringer units with greeat success. ;D
