Can't get playNote duration to work in v2

Hello,

Just started using the library, really cool!

I've been able to successfully use playNote like this:

outputMicrofreak.playNote(60);

but not like this:

outputMicrofreak.playNote(60, {duration: 2000});

If I add duration, I don't get an error, but there is no sound played. I have the same issue with trying to use stopNote( ). If I leave off any options it works, adding options gives no sound.

I read notes about WebMidi time, and have tried to console.log the time but get undefined.

I'm using this version of the library: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/webmidi

Running via Chrome 92.0.4515.107

And targeting an Arturia Microfreak.

Thanks for any help!!

    The second parameter for the playNote() method is the channel. If you pass an object as the second parameter, it will not know where to send the message. Try this:

    outputMicrofreak.playNote(60, 1, {duration: 2000});

    This will send play the note on channel 1. 😃

    Great, thank you! I added the channel and it works now.

    Really excited to get programming with this!
