I am trying to create a patch which displays fretboard markings on a virtual guitar based on MIDI data. 

I want to use LEDs to represent the fingering on the fretboard. 

Is there an object which will send a bang but only if it's a certain figure. ie, is there a way of sending out different bang's depending on what MIDI data is being sent?

Any help really would be greatfully received, thanks!

You can use "stripnote" and "select" to create bangs from certain note data.

(ie "select 64 65 66" will create a bang out the appropriate outlet when any

presumably you'd want to turn off the LEDs when another note comes along.

You can use the note-off velocity to send a "0" to the used note, or you can

create a master "0" to turn all LEDs off before a new note is shown(less

It will be harder to create the logic to have it switch strings as

appropriate (if you want it to 'visually' transcribe what your playing).
