Pd treats noteoff as a noteon with 0 velocity, hence the [stripnote] object, etc.
If you want to explicitly handle noteoff, you can look at the midi tester patch for working with raw bytes...

Dear List
Looking at the MIDI 1.0 documentation : https://www.midi.org/specifications-old/item/table-2-expanded-messages-list-... https://www.midi.org/specifications-old/item/table-2-expanded-messages-list-status-bytes
I notice that the MIDI NOTES are transmitted over three bytes ??? byte 1 -> STATUS_BYTE [chan & function] ??? byte 2 -> DATA_BYTE [note] (0-127) ??? byte 3 -> DATA_BYTE [velocity] (0-127)
I'm wandering if Pd have a simple object to extract the noteOn / noteOff message from the STATUS_BYTE.
I think you should be able with [midiin].
Note that as per MIDI spec, 'note off' can be either an explicit 'note off' message also containing a 'release velocity' value or (more common) a note on with velocity equal to zero (for example this is how Pd does a note on/off if you use the [makenote] object.
