The Monitor pane shows MIDI data as it is received and sent. Two separate tables show the MIDI data being received (MIDI Input Events) and sent (MIDI Output Events). Each table contains similar columns.
Monitor pane A. MIDI Input filtering options B. MIDI Output filtering options
Channel
Displays the channel number of the received or sent event.
Event
Displays the event type. An event type can be either Note On or Control:
- Note On: An event containing note data. The Number column displays the note number between 0-127 and the Value column shows the note’s velocity. Each Note On event is immediately followed by a Note Off event which is equivalent to, and shown as, a Note On event with a velocity of zero.
- Control: An event containing controller data. The Number column displays the controller number, (0-127) and the Value column provides the controller value.
Number
The value shown in the Number column changes depending on whether the event is a controller or a note. If the event is a controller, the Number column shows the controller number. If the event is a note, the Number column shows the note number. Each note is assigned a number between 0 and 127. For example, C4 (C octave 4) displays as 60.
Value
The value shown in the Value column changes depending on whether the event is a controller or a note. If the event is a controller, the Value column displays the controller value. If the event is a note, the Value column displays the note’s velocity.
