Midi Note Priority

[Andreas Ruland]

Hello,
I'm currently using FL Studio 12 where Flowstone is integrated and what I wanted to do is to create a plug-in which has "Low-Note" or "High-Note Priority" because I couldnt find anything in the Internet.
So if I play any note on my MIDI keyboard (i.e. C4) every higher note should be disabled as long as C4 is played. If I release C4 every note should be playable again. The notes below C4 shouldn't be affected
I'm really new to coding so I don't really know what to do

Hope you can help me :/

You need to store the state of the last note. You only know the incoming note, so at the very start the first note will be the "priority note". Store it in a variable and compare the next note with it. If higher, don't play, if lower play. As soon as the note off signal from the "priority note" comes in (caution: can be 144 with velocity 0 OR 128), clear the content of the variable to fill it with the next note.

Thanks for your reply!

But I dont really know how to compare values :/

Do you have any example fsm files you can show me which covers this topic?

I would appreciate it thx

I'm sorry, but I'm too busy with my own projects currently. Maybe someone else will chime in?

Thanks for your help!

I think this is a keyboard split right?

Ok I think some programmers here will call me crazy x) but after a few days of googling I found that "priority queue" thing and the way I did it works but is totally buggy and I think there gotta be a much easier way.^^

Hope you can help me
