Also useful to make sure a certain instrument (if its number is from 1 to 16) will not be triggered by midi noteon messages (if using something <a class="link" href="midiin.html" title="midiin"><em class="citetitle">midiin</em></a> to interpret midi information). In this case set <span class="emphasis"><em>insnum</em></span> to 0 or a negative number. </p> <p> If <span class="emphasis"><em>ichan</em></span> is set to 0, the value of <span class="emphasis"><em>insnum</em></span> is used for all channels. This way you can route all MIDI channels to a single Csound instrument. You can also disable triggering of instruments from MIDI note events from all channels with the following line: </p> <pre class="programlisting">massign 0,0</pre> <p> This can be useful if you are doing all MIDI evaluation within Csound with an always on instrument(e.g. using <a class="link" href="midiin.html" title="midiin"><em class="citetitle">midiin</em></a> and <a class="link" href="turnon.html" title="turnon"><em class="citetitle">turnon</em></a>) to avoid doubling the instrument when a note is played. </p> </div> <div class="refsect1" title="Examples"> <a id="idp30346184"></a> <h2>Examples</h2> <p> Here is an example of the massign opcode.
