## outic

outic — Sends MIDI controller output at i-rate.

## Description

Sends MIDI controller output at i-rate.

## Syntax

    outic ichn, inum, ivalue, imin, imax

## Initialization

ichn -- MIDI channel number (1-16)

inum -- controller number (0-127 for example 1 = ModWheel; 2 = BreathControl etc.)

ivalue -- floating point value

imin -- minimum floating point value (converted in MIDI integer value 0)

imax -- maximum floating point value (converted in MIDI integer value 127 (7 bit))

## Performance

outic (i-rate MIDI controller output) sends controller messages to the MIDI OUT device. It works only with MIDI instruments which recognize them. It can drive a different value of a parameter for each note currently active.

It can scale an i-value floating-point argument according to the imin and imax values. For example, set imin = 1.0 and imax = 2.0. When the ivalue argument receives a 2.0 value, the opcode will send a 127 value to the MIDI OUT device. When the ivalue argument receives a 1.0 value, it will send a 0 value. i-rate opcodes send their message once during instrument initialization.

## Examples

Here is an example of the outic opcode. It uses the file outic.csd.

Thanks goes to Rasmus Ekman for pointing out the correct MIDI channel and controller number ranges.
