MIDIFunc (and its subclass MIDIdef) registers one or more functions to respond to an incoming MIDI message. Many of its methods are inherited from its superclass AbstractResponderFunc.
MIDIFunc (and its subclass MIDIdef like all other AbstractResponderFuncs) are removed on pressing Cmd/ctrl-. To override this behavior, use the AbstractResponderFunc: -permanent method.
Get or set an IdentityDictionary containing the default dispatcher objects for MIDIFuncs of different types (these are what you get if you pass nil as the dispatcher argument to *new). These objects will decide if any of their registered MIDIFuncs should respond to an incoming MIDI message. The dictionary should have the keys [\noteOn, \noteOff, \control, \polytouch, \touch, \program, \bend] and values of an appropriate subclass of AbstractDispatcher for each message type. By default these will be instances of MIDIMessageDispatcher for the first four message types, and instances of MIDIMessageDispatcherNV for the last three.
The getter returns an IdentityDictionary.
Create a new, enabled MIDIFunc. Normally one would use one of the message type specific convenience methods below, rather than use this method directly.
| func |
A Function or similar object which will respond to the incoming message. When evaluated for noteOn, noteOff, control, and polytouch messages it will be passed the arguments val, num, chan, and src, corresponding to the message value (e.g. velocity, control value, etc.), message number (e.g. note number), MIDI channel, and MIDI source uid. For touch, program change and bend messages it will be passed only val, chan, and src. For information on the args passed for the other sorts of |
| msgNum |
An Integer indicating the MIDI message number (note number, control number, or program number) for this MIDIFunc. This can be an array. If nil, the MIDIFunc will respond to messages of all possible message numbers. |
| chan |
An Integer indicating the MIDI channel number for this MIDIFunc. This can be an array. If nil, the MIDIFunc will respond to messages received on all channels. |
| msgType |
A Symbol indicating which kind of MIDI message this MIDIFunc should respond to. One of |
| srcID |
An Integer corresponding to the uid of the MIDI input. (See Using MIDI: MIDIFunc and MIDIdef: Filtering based on device or message data.) If nil, the MIDIFunc will respond to messages received from all sources. |
| argTemplate |
An optional Integer or Function (or object which responds to the method Methods: matchItem) used to match the value of an incoming MIDI message. (e.g. velocity, control value, program number, etc.). If a Function, it will be evaluated with the message value as an argument, and should return a Boolean indicating whether the message matches and this MIDIFunc should respond. |
| dispatcher |
An optional instance of an appropriate subclass of AbstractDispatcher. This can be used to allow for customised dispatching. Normally this should not be needed. |

A new instance of MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI system exclusive messages.
N.B. Because of SC's underlying low level MIDI implementation, there is no generic msgType and convenience method for System Common messages. Instead these are grouped with System Realtime under *sysrt below.
A convenience method to create a new MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI smpte messages. See *new for argument descriptions. The responding func will be passed the arguments seconds, framerate, dropframe, and srcID. (dropframe is a Boolean).
A new instance of MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI smpte messages.
A convenience method to create a new MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages. Note that the *smpte method above automatically assembles quarter frames into time code. See *new for argument descriptions. The responding func will be passed the arguments data, srcID, and pieceNumber. You will need to manually assemble each 8 messages into smpte.
A new instance of MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages.
A convenience method to create a new MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI song position messages. See *new for argument descriptions. The responding func will be passed the arguments position and srcID.
A new instance of MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI song position messages.
A convenience method to create a new MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI song select messages. See *new for argument descriptions. The responding func will be passed the arguments song and srcID.

A convenience method to create a new MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI clock messages. See *new for argument descriptions. The responding func will be passed the argument srcID.
A new instance of MIDIFunc which responds to MIDI clock messages.
A convenience method to create a new MIDIFunc which responds generically to MIDI System Realtime and System Common messages. Note that the message specific methods above and below are probably more convenient in most cases. Note that this does not include MIDI Time Code Quarter Frame messages (sysrt index 1). For those see *mtcQuarterFrame and *smpte. See *new for argument descriptions. The responding func will be passed the arguments data (may be nil), srcID, and index. Index indicates the message type as follows:
| MIDI Time Code Quarter Frames | 1 |
| Song Position | 2 |
| Song Select | 3 |
| Tune Request | 6 |
| MIDI Clock | 8 |
| Tick | 9 |
| Start | 10 |

| Stop | 12 |
| Active Sense | 14 |
| Reset | 15 |

Get this MIDIFunc's message type.
A Symbol; one of \noteOn, \noteOff, \control, \touch, \polytouch, \bend, \program, \sysex, \mtcQF, \smpte, \songPosition, \songSelect, \tuneRequest, \midiClock, \sysrt, \tick, \start, \continue, \stop, \activeSense, or \reset.
Get this MIDIFunc's argTemplate.
A Integer or Function (or object which responds to the method Methods: matchItem) used to match the value of an incoming MIDI message. (e.g. velocity, control value, program number, etc.).
Train this MIDIFunc to respond to the next message of its type. Arguments passed at creation (e.g. chan, srcID, msgNum, etc.) will filter the training to the next matching message received.
| learnVal |
A Boolean indicating whether the responder should learn the specific value. For example, if used with a control change MIDIFunc, the object would learn to match the next specific control change value. If used with a note on MIDIFunc, it would match only a specific velocity. The default is false. |
