I've been working on a small project for my course which is based around instruments for musical expression. With my Arduino, I have created a stream of data coming from an Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04, in correspondence to the distance of your hand.

I have then mapped this data to Max to control the MIDI notes being outputted. For example if the distance is 4-5cm then the output will be MIDI value 60 or if the distance is 5-7cm then the output will be 61 etc....

This has been successful however, every time the data flow is updated, (by delay(1000) a new MIDI on message is received. I want to implement a way that the note stays on constantly, only until a new MIDI number is sent.

Does anyone think they could help find a solution?
