MIDI Trigger: Note On
The Note On trigger is a MIDI-based input. It detects when a specified MIDI note is activated or ‘pressed down’ on the chosen MIDI device or software.
Trigger Inputs
Channel
The MIDI channel of the MIDI signal.
| Type | Whole Number (Integer) |
|---|---|
| Default Fallback | 0 |
| Min - Max Value | 0 - 15 |
| Required | No |
| Local Variable | 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)
