note on without note off??

[dojec]

Is it possible to send a note on info, and never send a note off again?
Why? Well, I'm programming my led lights with midi signals, and note on is turning the lights on. And between 2 songs I would like to keep the lights burning, but of course, if the note ends that turns this light on ( = note off info ), then the lights are off also.

You could certainly edit them out of a sequnce. I'm not sure if you could simply not record them in the first place though.

Wouldn't you also have to start each song with "lights off" messages as well, then?

I doubt if it's that simple with the sequencer. Because if you place a note, you automatically have the note on and off info.
The only way to do this, would be via a system exlusive command I'm afraid. And my knowledge is not that good in that area. Someone an idea?

I found this info in the fantom manual p298:
1. Receive Data (Sound Source Section)
■
Channel Voice Messages
●
Note on
Status 2nd byte 3rd byte
9nH kkH vvH
n = MIDI channel number: 0H - FH (ch.1 - 16)
kk = note number: 00H - 7FH (0 - 127)
vv = note on velocity: 01H - 7FH (1 - 127)

so, do I transorm this in a sysex message?
Because i.e. '9F 00 127' ( note C0 on max vel. on channel 16 ) can't be recognised just like that I guess?

You maybe able to achieve the result you require by turning local off on the fantom and running through cubase.

Cubase has a data transformer and filter that will take cc or note information and translate or filter it..

and I think the filter system can also filter Note On/Off

You only need to enable THRU in cubase for it to work..

Thanks for the answer, but actually what I wrote earlier was correct. I only need to write an F0 and F7 before and after, and use it as a sys ex. And it works.
With cubase it's more difficult on stage
