Create midi message - 'Message Type' input

[bmartin]

Hi,

Not sure if this has come up already - I had a search and couldn't see anything...
I have a slight problem with the 'Create midi message' module - the 'Msg Type' input seems to work in a strange way where it only accepts the elements of a list ('Note ON', 'Note OFF') etc rather than the midi codes for these messages (128,144, etc) which are used by the other modules. This makes it a bit tricky to plug one module straight into another, message output directly to message type input.

I've worked around this by making a list that matches the values to the messages but I thought this could be made more intuitive.

Most of midi modules have a combobox as input (ie:create, random,filter, etc)
the only modules which have an integer value are GetMessage, unpack and third party scripts?
For backward compatibility reasons, I'm not sure I can change it without breaking many patches.
The soluce is to create new modules 'midi-msg-num to combo' or 'combo to midi-msg-num'
