MIDI Editor

The MIDI editor allows you to create or edit a MIDI event. This lets you specify the type of MIDI event to send or receive, as well as the optional channel, value, and other parameters pertaining to the selected MIDI event.

OnSong supports a number of types of MIDI events. Pick one of these types to learn how to configure it for you needs.

Control

This is a control change (or CC) which is typically sent from a foot pedal, knob, or slider. You can pick a channel and value to send for the control change event.

Program

This is a program change (or PC) event which is used for selecting different sounds or modules on a device. You must pick a channel as well as the program. Optionally you can choose bank select information.

Note

This is used for playing notes on a MIDI instrument. You must pick a channel as well as the note value.

NRPN

This is used for special types of MIDI events called Non-Registered Parameter Number that are used on some instruments.

Start, Continue and Stop

These are used to control MIDI playback of a track or sequence and do not have any additional properties.

Song Select

This is used for picking a specific song to be queued.

SysEx

This is used for sending more advanced messages to and from MIDI devices. These are often times manufacturer specific.

Delay

This is used for inserting a delay into a list of MIDI events to be sent.
