## Description

With the MidiNote command, you send MIDI Note messages via the Midi Out port at the back of the console. For more information, see [Device Overview](/grandma2/key_device_overview/).

If a MIDI channel is entered in the command, the entered MIDI channel will be used.\
If no MIDI channel is entered, the MIDI channel in the **Setup -> Midi Show Control** is used.

If a velocity is entered in the command, the entered velocity will be used.\
If no velocity is entered, a velocity full (127) will be used.

If the Off command is used, a MidiNote Off is sent.

For more information on the configuration of MIDI Remotes see [Remote Inputs Setup](/grandma2/key_remote_control_input/).
