It represents the first byte of a midi message.

First the 4 bits code for noteon: 0x9 in hexadecimal (1000 in binary),

followed by the MIDI channel coded ion 4 bits : 0x0 (0000) for channel 1

For a control change, the first 4 bits are 0xb (1011), so setting the 

3rd controller to 66 on channel 5 is equivalent to sending the
