Description

Arguments

Name Type Opt Description

(MIDI name) symbol opt The name of a MIDI input device may be used as the first argument to specify the port.
MIDI-port (a through z) and channel-number (int) symbol A letter and number combination (separated by a space) indicates a port and a specific MIDI channel on which to receive program change messages. Channel numbers greater than 16 will be wrapped around to stay within the 1-16 range.

Output

int: If a specific channel number is included in the argument, there is only one outlet. The output is the incoming program number on the specified channel and port. Note: The pgmin object always adds 1 to the incoming program number. Thus, an incoming program change value of 32 will come out the outlet of pgmin as 33.

If there is no channel number specified by the argument, pgmin will have a second outlet, on the right, which will output the channel number of the incoming program change message.

Examples

Program changes can be received from everywhere a specific port or a specific port and channel
