If the “note offs” were passed through directly, we would hear a double attack for each note, since the software would have no way of determining which was a “note on” and which was a “note off.” Any non-zero value is interpreted as the volume of a “note on,” and a value of zero is interpreted as a “note off.” By passing the velocity values from the middle outlet of to the left (control) inlet of the object, only the start of notes, corresponding to non-zero velocity values, will pass through, and velocity values of zero, “note offs,” will close the. Every MIDI note consists of two parts: a “note on” and a “note off.” The “on” and “off” messages for a single note will have the same MIDI note number they are only distinguished by what is called their “velocity” value, which corresponds to the volume of the note.

To explain exactly what’s happening with these two objects requires a brief technical tangent-feel free to skip ahead to the next paragraph if you prefer (especially if you don’t have a MIDI controller). In this case, the ensures that only the start of notes are passed through, and not the ends of notes, which are automatically determined by the envelope we draw in the object. The left inlet opens and closes the gate: a zero closes it and a non-zero value opens it. The object is used to limit what information passes from the right inlet to the outlet. The object detects incoming MIDI notes and passes them along. To add this functionality, we’ll need two new objects: and. If you have a MIDI controller available, you can use that instead of clicking on the on-screen keyboard. We can use a object to send a bang to the object, triggering the envelope, and the MIDI note number to via the conversion object.

Clicking on notes on the keyboard (with the patch locked) causes the corresponding MIDI note number to be passed out the left outlet. The frequency of the oscillator will be determined by an object called, short for “keyboard slider,” which generates a piano keyboard-like interface inside of the patch. We’ll start off with a standard synthesis chain as in the previous tutorials, this time using a sawtooth oscillator as our sound source. In this tutorial, we will apply what we’ve covered so far to build a piano keyboard-controlled synthesizer.
