ignore_event()

Drops the given event and thus prevents the supplied event to be further processed by the sampler. You can use this function i.e. to filter out MIDI note on and MIDI note off events, before they are causing new notes to be triggered, or to drop certain MIDI control change events before they can cause any sound to be changed.

Dropping events with this function only succeeds if the event just "recently" occurred. That effectively means you should drop the event in the respective event handler before any wait() calls, and before entering any loops that may execute your script for a very long time. Because in both cases the sampler may suspend your script for a certain amount of time and once your script got resumed, the respective event may already have entered the sampler's regular event processing chain and thus can no longer be dropped.

There is also an ignore_controller() function, intended for explicitly dropping control change events. With NKSP you you can also use ignore_event() though to drop control change events. So ignore_controller() merely exists due to compatibility reasons with KSP.

ignore_event(??event-id??)

Arguments

Return Value

None.

Examples

None yet.

Passing an array of event IDs is only supported by NKSP. If you want to keep compatibility to KSP, then you should only pass a single event ID to this function.
