Great tutorial, and clear demonstration on how to keep track of the note priority. However, in practice you could as well use highest note priority, since that was what you demonstrated in all your playing examples. I find highest/lowest note priority to feel more natural on monophonic synths, at least when you start releasing notes.

Great thank ....you....

Very cool! Would it be reasonable to use Bela to code/create a hardware MIDI interface for use with MacOS?

[@apm414]

Yes you certainly can. It's possible to send MIDI messages as well as to receive them, although I don't cover that in this tutorial.
