The MIDI Forum

hi,


move me if this the wrong category.

i am developing software for 20 years and know only the basics about midi.


imagine the following situation:

- i dont have a MPE controller hardware and/or MPE receiving device.

- i want to built some fractional code for dealing with MPE input and formatting MPE output.

- when i work with midi data, i almost exclusively deal with decimal numbers.


distributing note events across channels in round robin or other fashions is nothing new for me, i do that since 20 years.

but now that there is a standard(?) for it, and more and devices seem to use it, i feel like getting compatible to it.

could someone explain me how MPE input from a controller looks like? in comparison to a normal note event or controller in traditional channel message format?

or is it the same as always and all interesting new things happen on channel 1?
