I would like to try to understand the language used in Power Tracks Pro Audio's MIDI Monitor.
I understand a LITTLE about hexidecimal, but this beats me.
Why, for instance, is Note On followed by ($9x)?
Pressing the Help button yields "No context-sensitive help installed."
Did PGMusic forget to give me the Help file for MIDI Monitor?

What version of PT and what Operating System?
9x often implies Windows 95 or 98.
However, I've never noticed this message before.
As far as I know, 'X' is not a part of the hexidecimal system .. the letters usually stop at 'F'!

That $ sign rang a bell. I remember seeing it when I was trying to figure out system exclusive messages way back when I was mad and naive. LOL (a lot)
I've dug out my old books and it seems to stand for Status and Sub Status messages. I've only found it in the Yamaha sections though. It is also under the sections on sys exclusive Dump messages.
This is from one of the pages.
11110000 staus = $F0
ID = $43
s=substatus/n=channel number
I'm no expert on sys exc. It was interesting at the time but also like AAARRGH!
Maybe someone else can enlighten further.
Best of luck.

From Kurzweil manual - In the K1000 keyboard instrument, Note Off’s are transmitted using the MIDI Note Off message $8x kkk vvv. This can cause problems with certain simple minded MIDI processors (such as the Yamaha MEP4) which transpose the MIDI stream by only altering key numbers in Note On messages ($9x) on the assumption that the MIDI controller is sending Note Off’s as zero velocity Note On’s. Currently, there is no solution to this problem but future versions of the software will add a master parameter to select the type of Note Off (real Note Off or zero velocity Note On) which is transmitted. source - http://www.synthzone.com/midi/kurzweil/k1000/K1Ksysex.pdf

I thought the MIDI Manufacturers Association was supposed to standardize all the protocol.
So the NOTE OFF message is sometimes just a NOTE ON with a velocity of zero?!
Back on topic -- So the dollar sign as used here is just an esoteric bit of computer geekery.
So now I'll be searching for a reason why my MIDI Monitor help file seems to be not installed.
