Hand cranked mono/legato issue..

[Lindon]

Ok so I want to play my instrument polyphonically or monophonically., and if mono then set some start offset....sort of half-way to legato...

but I clearly dont understand how the event ID system works because this code doesnt work:

function onNoteOn()
{
    if (PolyphonicOnOff.getValue() == 0) {
      // mono phonic processing...
      //is there a held note?
	  Console.print(Globals.lastNoteNum);
      if (Globals.lastNoteNum > -1){
          // yes there is...so we should have the id of the last event in lastNoteId...
          Synth.noteOffByEventId(Globals.lastNoteId);
          Message.ignoreEvent(true);
          Globals.lastNoteId = Synth.playNoteWithStartOffset(Message.getChannel(), Message.getNoteNumber(),Message.getVelocity(), 10000);
          
      }else{
        // no there isnt we are "first event"
        Globals.lastNoteNum = Message.getNoteNumber();
        Globals.lastNoteId = Message.getEventId();
      };
    };
	Console.print(Globals.lastNoteNum);
	Console.print(Globals.lastNoteId);
};

its failing at the noteOffByEventId, where its telling me it cant find the note ID...held in Globals.lastNoteId

What am i doing wrong?

Last note ID needs to be artificial

[Lindon]

@d-healey Thanks Dave. So I did this:

function onNoteOn()
{
    if (PolyphonicOnOff.getValue() == 0) {
      // mono phonic processing...
      //is there a held note?
	  Console.print(Globals.lastNoteNum);
      if (Globals.lastNoteNum > -1){
          // yes there is...so we should have the id of the last event in lastNoteId...

          Synth.noteOffByEventId(Globals.lastNoteId);
          Message.ignoreEvent(true);
          Globals.lastNoteId = Synth.playNoteWithStartOffset(Message.getChannel(), Message.getNoteNumber(),Message.getVelocity(), 10000);
          Globals.lastNoteNum = Message.getNoteNumber();
      }else{
        // no there isnt we are "first event"
        Message.makeArtificial();
        Globals.lastNoteNum = Message.getNoteNumber();
        Globals.lastNoteId = Message.getEventId();
      };
    };
	Console.print(Globals.lastNoteNum);
	Console.print(Globals.lastNoteId);
};

Which with the required jiggery-pokery in the note off makes it work....I am assuming that

Globals.lastNoteId = Synth.playNoteWithStartOffset(.....

makes that event Artificial anyway...

[d.healey]

@Lindon Looks good. I think makeArtificial returns an ID so you can skip a line of code here.

Message.makeArtificial();
Globals.lastNoteNum = Message.getNoteNumber();
Globals.lastNoteId = Message.getEventId();

Globals.lastNoteId = Message.makeArtificial();

@d-healey oh yes that seems logical, thanks Dave.
