Button to trigger MIDI note

[rglides]

Has anyone figured out how to make a button trigger a midi note?

of course this button can play a note

const var test = Content.getComponent("test");
var EventId = 0;

inline function ontestControl(component, value)
{
		if (value)
 	{
		Synth.playNote(1, 100);
 	}
 	else
 	{
 		Synth.noteOffByEventId(EventId);
 	}
};

Content.getComponent("test").setControlCallback(ontestControl);

but how can I also play the actual midi note? I'd like to be able to record the button presses in an empty midi file in a midi player, but that currently only records notes pressed by the keyboard, not the buttons

Thanks!

@rglides Try playNoteFromUI.

@clevername27 oh, so Synth.playNoteFromUI(1, 100); ?

@rglides
The methods

Synth.addNoteOn(int channel, int noteNumber, int velocity, int timeStampSamples)
and
Synth.addNoteOff(int channel, int noteNumber, int timeStampSamples)

will make MIDI messages that you can see in the Event Logger: MIDI Processor.

I am not sure, but you may need to put the MIDI player in a separate container in the Module Tree for it to "see" the incoming MIDI messages created this way.

@VirtualVirgin said in Button to trigger MIDI note:

timeStampSamples

Thanks! I'm confused by timeStampSamples but I guess I can just try some numbers out

[clevername27]

@rglides Engine.getSamplesForMilliSeconds
