octmidi — Get the note number, in octave-point-decimal units, of the current MIDI event.

## Description

    ioct octmidi

## Performance

Get the note number of the current MIDI event, expressed in octave-point-decimal units, for local processing.

| octmidi vs. octmidinn

The octmidi opcode only produces meaningful results in a Midi-activated note (either real-time or from a Midi score with the -F flag). With octmidi, the Midi note number value is taken from the Midi event that is internally associated with the instrument instance. On the other hand, the octmidinn opcode may be used in any Csound instrument instance whether it is activated from a Midi event, score event, line event, or from another instrument. The input value for octmidinn might for example come from a p-field in a textual score or it may have been retrieved from the real-time Midi event that activated the current note using the notnum opcode.

## Examples

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

Example 677. Example of the octmidi opcode.
