Searching for Value 1 or Value 2
A MIDI event is composed of several values. What is displayed for Value 1 and 2 depends on the type of event:
Event type |
Value 1 |
Value 2 |
---|---|---|
Notes |
The Note Number/Pitch. |
The velocity of the note. |
Poly Pressure |
The key that was pressed. |
The amount of pressure for the key. |
Controller |
The type of Controller, displayed as a number. |
The amount of Control Change. |
Program Change |
The Program Change number. |
Not used. |
Aftertouch |
The amount of pressure. |
Not used. |
Pitchbend |
The “fine-tune” of the bend. Not always used. |
The coarse amount of bend. |
VST 3 Event |
Not used. |
The value of the VST 3 Event parameter. The value range of the VST 3 event (0.0 to 1.0) is transformed into the MIDI value range (0-127), i. e., the VST 3 event value 0.5 corresponds to 64. For some operations that require a higher resolution, you can make use of the “VST 3 Value Operation” parameter. |
System Exclusive events are not included in the table above, because they do not use value 1 and 2.
Because value 1 and 2 have different meanings for different events, searching for value 2 = 64 would both find notes with the velocity 64 and controllers with the amount 64, etc. If this is not what you want, you can add an additional filter condition line with the Filter Target “Type”, specifying which type of events to find (see below).
This is particularly useful when searching for note pitch or velocity values, as described below.
The general procedures when searching for value 1 or 2 are:
If you select any Condition other than the Range options, you set up a specific value in the Parameter 1 column.
If you select Inside Range or Outside Range in the Condition column, the range consists of the values between Parameter 1 and Parameter 2.
Note that Parameter 1 should have the lower value.
