MIDI Action: Note On and Off
The Note On and Off action is a MIDI-based output. This action is built for convenience to make it easier to send a Note On MIDI message followed by a Note Off message in a single action to the specified midi device.
The ‘Hold’ value of the Note On and Off action will determine how long the action will wait after sending a Note On message, before sending a Note Off message.
The Note On and Off flows as follows: Note On > Hold > Note Off
Action Inputs
Channel
The MIDI channel that the Note On and Off messages will be sent down.
| Type | Whole Number (Integer) |

| Required | Yes |
| Min - Max Value | 0 - 15 |
| Allows Variables | Yes |

The MIDI channel values in Aitum are 0-15. Most MIDI software and hardware define MIDI channel values as 1-16. This is true for the channel values of both Notes and Control Changes.
This means that setting a channel to 0 in Aitum is equal to 1 in most other devices and software’s. The Aitum team intends to change the values internally to be 1-16 in a future update. (Update timeline TBD)
