145 is the complete status byte for MIDI channel 2 note on.

144 should be subtracted but even then it still comes out to channel 2
according to the MIDI specs and not 1.
Unfortunately the way Pd handles MIDI channels.

The problem is that Pd counts from 1-16 instead of 0-15. Maybe that's why it
is off by 1. Using 145 instead of 144 for channel 1.

Counting from 1-16 like Pd does it is very annoying as one has to first
subtract 1 then do [mod 16] and add 1 again for higher input counts.
Otherwise you cannot assign all channels from the second MIDI In up to the
first 16  MIDI channels.
(I guess it's too late to change that in Pd without breaking everything ...)


The MIDI spec talks about channels 1-16 but they are numbered in the MIDI codes as 0-15 (probably because you need 5 bits to encode 1-16 vs 4 bits for 0-15). A lot of hardware that uses DIP switches or 7-segment digits to select channels uses 0-based counting, but software and equipment with decent displays uses 1-16. It seems that the user interface _should_ use 1-16 even though the underlying system uses 0-15.

Subject: [PD] BUG on midifixes - (was: midifixes testing)

But wait, there's a bug:

when creating [notein] I play on my midichannel 1 and I get “145” on
[notein] third outlet. 145 can't be a midichannel.
Also when using [notein 1] I don't receive anything.

This is not happening on 0.48.0

ATM I cant test if this is also happening with [ctlin]

For MIDI heads out there who can build Pd, can y'all test the current git
master?

My midifixes PR was merged into master and it would be good to get some
testing on it.

I developed a tool to test things which might be
handy: https://github.com/danomatika/miditester
