# \&midichannel

General Option! ([`&push`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push), [`&room`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room), [`&view`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view), [`&scene`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene))

## Options

Example: `&midichannel=3`

<table><thead><tr><th width="183">Value</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>(<code>1</code> to <code>16</code>)</td><td>specifies which midi channel to listen on</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Details

These work in conjunction with [`&midi`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/api-and-midi-parameters/midi) to allow for specifying which midi channel (1 to 16) to listen on. If you don't specify anything, it listens to all channels. Previously it was hard-coded to listen to just channel-1, but now it will listen to all channels unless filtered.
