noteOff() / noteOffByEventId()

pasmae

Hello,

I am working on a script that retriggers all currently pressed keys when another key is pressed. I created an object which stores if a certain keynumber is pressed or not. When I print to the console I get the keynumbers just as I want. Retriggering works fine, but when I let go a key, it doesn't stop the note with the Synth.noteOff() function, it says in the console that I should use Synth.noteOffByEventId() instead. But when I get the EventId in onNoteOff and insert it in the function, it also doesn't work right. It seems to look for the same ID in the onNoteOn. How do I have to treat the Synth.noteOffByEventId() in this case?

//On Init

//Storing the current key status for the key range
const var a = {}

for (i = 53; i < 97; i++)
{
    a[i] = 0;
}

function onNoteOn()
{
	const var n = Message.getNoteNumber();
		
	a[n] = Synth.isKeyDown(n);
	
for (k in a)
    {
        if (a[k] == 1)
        {
	        Synth.playNote(k, 1);
        }
    }
}	

function onNoteOff()
{
    const var n = Message.getNoteNumber();
    
    const var e = Message.getEventId();
    
    a[n] = Synth.isKeyDown(n);
    
for (k in a)
    {
        if (a[k] == 0)
        {
	        Synth.noteOffByEventId(e);
        }
    }
	
}

First, you need to make the NoteOn events artificial by callingMessage.makeArtificial(); You can't operate on real events. There's more on this real vs. artificial concept in the documentation.

Then, you need to save all of these artificial eventIds in an array so you can turn them off later by calling Synth.noteOffByEventId()

A really simple way to achieve this is to either use a MIDIList or use an array with 128 slots reserved so you can put the eventIds in the respective note number slot in the array. When you clear the eventID with Synth.noteOffByEventId() you should set that number in the array back to -1 or some reasonable value to indicate it's inactive.

@Lunacy-Audio I tried something out but I guess I didn't get it right. I referred to the saved EventID in the Synth.noteOffByEventId() but it says it couldn't find a NoteOn with that ID...

const var a = {}

for (i = 53; i < 97; i++)
{
    a[i] = [0, e];
}

function onNoteOn()
{
    Message.makeArtificial();
    
	const var n = Message.getNoteNumber();
	
	const var e = Message.getEventId();
		
	a[n] = [Synth.isKeyDown(n), e];
	
for (k in a)
    {
        if (a[k] == [1, e > -1])
        {
	        Synth.playNote(k, 1);	        
        }
    }
}

function onNoteOff()
{
    Message.makeArtificial();
    
    const var n = Message.getNoteNumber();
    
    const var e = Message.getEventId();
    
    const var v = a[n][1];
    
    a[n] = [Synth.isKeyDown(n), e];
    
for (k in a)
    {
        if (a[k] == [0, e > 0])
        {
	        Synth.noteOffByEventId(v);
        }
    }
	
    v = -1;
}

Doesn't solve your problem but just a FYI you should use a MIDI list rather than an array for storing your note IDs in this instance.

I'm realizing you don't even need the make artificial call for this. You can just ignore the note on event, and then retrigger all pressed notes. Try this:

// store all eventIds in a MIDI List for faster processing
const var eventIds = Engine.createMidiList(); 
eventIds.clear(); // set all values to -1

function onNoteOn() {
    local n = Message.getNoteNumber();
    local v = Message.getVelocity();

    Message.ignoreEvent(true);

    // play all currently held notes
    for (i = 0; i < 127; i++) {

        // turn off previous event if applicable
        local e = eventIds.getValue(i);
        if (e != -1)
            Synth.noteOffByEventId(e);

        // play new note if key is down
        if (Synth.isKeyDown(i)) {
            local newNote = Synth.addNoteOn(1, i, v, 0);
            eventIds.setValue(i, newNote);
        }
    }
}

function onNoteOff() {
    local n = Message.getNoteNumber();
    Synth.noteOffByEventId(eventIds.getValue(n));
    eventIds.setValue(n, -1);
}

Works for me here:

@Lunacy-Audio Somehow it doesn't work here. If I press a key it disables all the notes that are higher on the keyboard. On noteOn() it doesn't find the NoteOn with IDxxxx and onNoteOff it says NoteOn with ID-1 wasn't found?

Casey Kolb

Are you using the most recent scriptnode branch?

@Lunacy-Audio I just rebuilt HISE and now it works! Thanks so much for your help and effort!

Casey Kolb

For sure!
