wikipedia:Midi is used throughout jOrgan to communicate with other music devices.
MPL
jOrgan comes with its own Midi Processing Language (MPL) which allows to dynamically construct and evaluate wikipedia:Midi messages. MPL expressions consist of the following commands:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Modifying commands | |
| add n x | Add the value of variable n to the current value, using x as default if the variable is not defined. |
| sub n x | Subtract the value of variable n to the current value, using x as default if the variable is not defined. |
| mult n x | Multiply with the value of variable n to the current value, using x as default if the variable is not defined. |
| div n x | Divide the current value by the value of variable n, using x as default if the variable is not defined. |
| mod n x | Find the remainder of division of the current value by n, using x as default if the variable is not defined. |
| set n x | Set the current value to the value of variable n, using x as default if the variable is not defined. |
| round | Round the current value to the nearest integer. |
| Comparing commands | |
| equal x | Test if the current value is equal to value x. |
| greater x | Test if the current value is greater than value x. |
| greaterEqual x | Test if the current value is greater or equal to value x. |
| less x | Test if the current value is less than value x. |
| lessEqual x | Test if the current value is less or equal to value x. |
| notEqual x | Test if the current value is not equal to value x. |
| Querying commands | |
| get n | Get the value for variable n from the current value. |
Note that upper and lower case in a command name is significant. Some elements come with built-in variables (e.g. value for continuous elements), but you can use as many additional variables as you like.
Commands can be chained with a pipe symbol (|), in which case they are evaluated from left to right.
To send a value of 127:
set 127
To filter values greater 0 and storing the actual value in the variable velocity:
greater 0 | get velocity
To send values between 0 and 127 dependent on the variable value (which is in range 0.0 - 1.0):
set value | mult 127
One MPL expression is used for each byte of a wikipedia:Midi message, separated by comma (,).
To test a message for a key press on pitch 60 with velocity 100 (three bytes):
equal 144, equal 60, equal 100
To create a message for a key press (three bytes):
set 144, set 60, set 100
To create a wikipedia:Sysex message (ten bytes):
set 240, set 0, set 32, set 51, set 0, set 0, set 0, set 0, set 0, set 247
