Since MIDI RPN and NRPN events are actually MIDI controller events, |
220 |
|
you might as well handle these with the previous |
221 |
|
<code>controller</code> event handler. But since RPN and NRPN messages |
222 |
|
are not just one MIDI message, but rather always handled by a set of |
223 |
|
individual MIDI messages, and since the |
224 |
|
precise set and sequence of actual MIDI commands sent varies between |
225 |
|
vendors and even among individual of their products, it highly makes sense to |
226 |
|
use these two specialized event handlers for these instead, because the |
227 |
|
sampler will already relief you from that burden to deal with all those |
228 |
|
low-level MIDI event processing issues and all their wrinkles involved |
229 |
|
when handling RPNs and NRPNs. |
230 |
|
</p> |
231 |
|
<note> |
232 |
|
Even though there are two separate, dedicated event handlers for RPN and NRPN events, |
233 |
|
they both share the same built-in variable names as you can see in the |
234 |
|
example above. |
235 |
|
</note> |
236 |
|
<p> |
237 |
|
So by reading <code>$RPN_ADDRESS</code> you get the RPN / NRPN parameter |
238 |
|
number that had been changed, and <code>$RPN_VALUE</code> represents the |
239 |
|
new value of that RPN / NRPN parameter. Note that these two built-in |
240 |
|
variables are a 14-bit representation of the parameter number and new |
241 |
|
value. So their possible value range is <code>0 .. 16383</code>. If you |
242 |
|
rather want to use their (in MIDI world) more common separated two 7 bit |
243 |
|
values instead, then you can easily do that by wrapping them into either |
244 |
|
<code>msb()</code> or <code>lsb()</code> calls like also demonstrated above. |
