Additional Event Information
Note Events—There are three values parameters for note events:
• A pitch, which represents the MIDI key number as a note and an
octave.
• A velocity (0–127), which is how fast the key is struck. Some keyboards
don’t transmit or receive velocity messages.
• A duration, which is how long the note lasts. This amount is shown in
beats:ticks format. (If the note lasts less then one beat, then only the
number of ticks is shown.)
