MIDI tab

If you do not know what MIDI is, you can safely ignore this. Most importantly, leave Enable MIDI output of SNR in its default, unchecked, state.

If, however you are an experienced computer musician, you will be unimpressed to know that NetStumbler can generate a stream of usually unpleasant and discordant MIDI traffic for consumption by your MIDI devices. You also should leave Enable MIDI output of SNR unchecked unless you are participating in a cruel artistic experiment.

If you haven't a clue what this is for but want to try it anyway, here are some vague tips.

• MIDI is used to interface with musical instruments. Your computer may have a built in MIDI driver that can play poor sounding musical instrument noises through your sound card. If you have a proper MIDI out port, you can use NetStumbler to scare your neighbors more than your garage band does usually.
• Channel typically describes which channel to use. For General MIDI, channel 10 is for percussion.
• Patch determines what kind of instrument is to be played on the channel. For General MIDI, for example, 4 is a honky-tonk piano, and 124 is a bird tweet.
• Transpose shifts the notes by the number of semitones specified.
