# \&midiout

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

Device indices starts at 1, where an index of 0 implies "all". You can refer to [`https://vdo.ninja/midi`](https://vdo.ninja/midi) for a drop-down list of available MIDI devices; the first MIDI device in the list would have a device index ID of 1.

Example: `&midiout=2`

<table><thead><tr><th width="275">Value</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>0</code></td><td>using 0 will listen to all midi input devices</td></tr><tr><td>(integer value. eg: 1)</td><td>midi input device list index ID; 1 and up.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Details

Allows for sending of MIDI signals to a remote computer. Mirrors even the channel ID.

The remote device must use [`&midiin`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/api-and-midi-parameters/midiin) to accept the signal and a peer connection is needed for the signal to take place.

You can disable the video and audio of VDO.Ninja, but still have a basic data-only peer-connection, but using `&videodevice=0&audiodevice=0` or [`&novideo`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/video-parameters/and-novideo)[`&noaudio`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/audio-parameters/noaudio).

{% hint style="danger" %}
If testing locally, beware of feedback loops, where the MIDI output is fed back into the MIDI input, causing high CPU usage and a lot of MIDI messages. If testing locally, use two MIDI devices and explicitly select the input and output MIDI devices to avoid these feedback loops.
