lowest(phrase)
Returns the lowest pitch in the specified phrase.


lowestnt(phrase)
Returns the lowest-pitched note in the specified phrase.


makenote(pitch [,duration [,volume [,chan]]] )
A simple utility for generating a single-note phrase. The pitch is the only required argument; additional arguments specify the duration, velocity, and channel.


makerootevery(melody,intrvl)
Figure out a root note (using findroot()) every intrvl beats, and return it.


maxvolume(phrase)
Returns the largest volume in the specified phrase.


midiloop()
This is intended to be the one-and-only task which reads messages from the Midiinfifo, a special fifo that is opened whenever KeyKit is rebooted, and to which KeyKit sends messages containing all MIDI input. Any task wanting to read MIDI input should add an entry to the Midiin array. The index of the Midiin array is normally the task id, and the value of the array element is the fifo id.


millisleep(milli)
Sleep (i.e. pause the task which calls this function) for the specified number of milliseconds.


minduration(phrase)
Returns the smallest duration in the specified phrase.


minvolume(phrase)
Returns the lowest volume in the specified phrase.


mono(phrase,type)
Returns a monophonic version of the specified phrase. If type==0, high notes are given priority (e.g. if two notes are playing simultaneously, the higher note will be chosen). If type==1, low notes are given priority. If type==2, the priority is randomized.


mouseloop()
This task is intended to be the one-and-only task that reads directly from the Mousefifo, a special fifo that is opened whenever KeyKit is rebooted, and to which KeyKit sends messages about changes in the mouse state. mouseloop() normally figures out which window is underneath the mouse, and sends the message to the Mousein fifo for that window. If someone wants to grab the mouse, they should set Mousegrabwind, and mouseloop() will instead send the mouse messages to that window. This procedure should be done with the grabmouse() and ungrabmouse() functions.


nextquant(number,quantize)
This function quantizes the specified number using the specified quantize value, and returns the result. The result is guaranteed to be greater than the original number; if quantization would produce a smaller number, it is increased by the quantize value. This is typically used when you want to quantize a time value, and want to guarantee that the result will refer to some time in the future, not in the past.
See: numquant


nexttime(ph,st)
Return the time of the next note AFTER time 'st', in phrase 'ph' If there are no notes after it, returns -1;


nonnotes(ph)
Return all non-notes (i.e. controller, sysex, etc) of ph.


normboot()
This is intended to be the default function that gets called when KeyKit initially boots or reboots. KeyKit calls Rebootfunc() when it reboots, so in order for this function to be used, the statement "Rebootfunc=normboot" should be included in keyrc(). Any tasks that must always be active (for example, the loops that monitor mouse and console input) should be started here. To register a function that will be automatically restarted upon a reboot, you should add it to the Rebootfuncs array.
See: addbootfunc


normexit()


normintr()
This function is intended to be the default value of Intrfunc, which KeyKit calls when an interrupt is received, typically when the user presses the interrupt character on the console. This function forces a reboot. If graphics mode is enabled, an attempt is made to save the current tool configuration in the file "keydump.lst", which will then be restored after the reboot. In this way, a fairly clean restart is performed.


normredraw()
This function is intended to be the default value of Redrawfunc, which KeyKit calls whenever the screen must be redrawn. It redraws the root window (i.e. erasing the screen), and then sends a redraw message to all children windows (i.e. all the active tools).


normresize()
This function is intended to be the default value of Resizefunc, which KeyKit calls whenever the screen is resized. Normally this function does nothing. By setting the variable Autoresize to 1 (e.g. in liblocal/prerc.k), you can cause this function to automatically resize all the active tools to fit within the new screen size.


nrpn(ch,mm,ll)
Return an NRPN message constructed from ch (channel, 1-based), mm (most-significant byte) and ll (least-significant byte).
