    Hi there,
    Is it possible to program a shortcut to send a midi note command?
    So you could have like a little vitual keyboard on a StreamDeck for example.
    Thanks

      Hi @Martin_Pavey

      You can send raw midi data via the sf.midi.send command, so you could send a note on on channel 1 like this:

      sf.midi.send({
    outputNum: 1,
    midiBytes: [0x90, 36, 100]
});

      However, currently it's not possible to register key-up events in SoundFlow. So you'd have a problem with sending note off messages.

          Okay, here's an interesting idea. I do this with an arduino board plus a hardware button but wonder if we could do it with Java. Can this script be altered to send one note if held down and a different note if tapped, maybe with a settable .5 second time etc. Is that possible?

            Hi Chip,

            When you say held down what are you referring to here - with which type of input would you trigger this?

                Hi Christian,

                I should have been more specific. What I want to do is use a steam deck button to send a midi note. One note when tapped quickly, and a second note for when held down. Basically to build a talkback button with 2 functions.

                  Ah, gotcha. Unfortunately, SoundFlow doesn't currently allow you to react differently to a short or a long press on a Stream Deck button - so you'd need to have 2 separate buttons for now.
