Description

At bottom, the MIDI protocol is written in binary code. So, at times, it will be important for us to be able to convert decimal numbers to binary numbers.

Clicking on the url at the top of the patcher will take you to the Ch. 5.2  Binary Numbers in Jeffrery Hass' Introduction to Computer Music (Hass 2025).
