Since Tattoo is a percussion synthesizer, the duration of incoming MIDI notes are irrelevant and Note Off
messages are essentially ignored.
You can also use MIDI note messages to select Tattoo’s active pattern. When Tattoo receives a note message
in the range C4 through D#5 it will switch to the corresponding pattern. C4 switches Tattoo’s sequencer to
pattern 1, C#4 switches it to pattern 2, and so on. As usual for the Pattern Control, Tattoo changes patterns
when it reaches the end of the current pattern.
The VST version of Tattoo also transmits MIDI note data as it plays, using the same note-number assignments
as shown above. It transmits velocity values as set in each instrument’s velocity sequencer. The Audio Unit
