MIDI Output
As well as accepting MIDI, the harp can generate it — turning what the wind is doing into notes and controller messages your DAW (or a hardware synth downstream) can record, quantise, or react to. Every output lane is off by default; turn on only the ones you want in Settings → MIDI → OUTPUT.
| Lane | Emits |
|---|---|
| Wind Notes | A Note On at a string's tuned pitch the moment the wind makes it audible, and the matching Note Off when it goes quiet again — so a DAW track fills in with exactly the notes the wind is playing. |
| Wind-speed CC | Wind speed as CC 20, about 30 times a second. |
| Gust CC | The gust envelope (0 -- 1) as CC 21, about 30 times a second. |
| Turbulence CC | Turbulence activity (0 -- 1) as CC 22, about 30 times a second. |
| Poly aftertouch | Each sounding string's loudness as polyphonic aftertouch on that string's note — a pressure-sensitive read of how hard the wind is driving it. |
| Gust trigger note | A single note (MIDI 96 by default) each time a gust swells past its crest — handy for triggering a sample or an automation lane on the big gusts. |
| Tuning echo | Whenever the tuning changes — a randomise, a reset, dragging a peg, loading a preset, or capturing a Wind Chord — the new 12-string voicing is echoed out as a brief chord, so a recording device downstream always has the current tuning on tape. |
Why CC 20/21/22 and not CC 11? The obvious choice for the gust envelope would have been CC 11 (expression), but CC 11 is also the default input mapping for Volume (see MIDI Control above). If the gust lane emitted on CC 11 and you routed this plugin's MIDI output back into its own MIDI input — a common trick when recording a performance and feeding it back in — the gust swells would immediately be re-read as Volume changes, turning into a feedback loop. CC 20, 21 and 22 sit clear of every input default, so it's safe to loop the output back to the input. You can always remap the output CCs downstream in your DAW's MIDI routing if you need a different number.
Turning lanes on and off. Open Settings → MIDI; below the input CC-learn list you'll find an OUTPUT section with one toggle per lane. Switch on whichever lanes you want to record or react to.
Output-lane settings are saved with the DAW session, the same way your MIDI-learn map and note mode are (see MIDI Control above) — they are not part of individual presets, so loading a preset (including via a Program Change) never changes your output routing.
