| MIDIFunc and MIDIdef can filter incoming messages, responding to specific devices, MIDI channels or data values. For example, you may want one MIDIFunc to handle controller 1, while a different MIDIFunc handles controller 7. | ||
|
|
||
| Filters are set by the argument immediately following the response function: code::MIDIFunc.incomingType({ ... function ... }, msgNum, chan, srcID):: where the meaning of msgNum depends on the message type. |

consider changing ... function ... to /* function */. the first could lead to misunderstandings about whether what's inside the braces is meant literally or not. i just saw this the other day on a C++ forum, about almost exactly the same ambiguity.

Purpose and Motivation
MIDIFunc help for srcID directs the user to the
MIDIClienthelp file, which... doesn't explain MIDIEndPoints or UIDs at all.Just had a thread on the user forum where it was not clear how to use this parameter.
