>>> note = 0x42 >>> print note 66 >>> note is 66 True There is no such thing as a "hex value"- only hex *representations* of a value. midi.note_off() doesn't take a "hex value", it takes an integer, and, for whatever reason, it happens to be listed in your example in a hexidecimal representation. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
