However, I'd like to have a MIDI clap at "Hey!" -- but only if adding
such would be as short and simple as the code above.
I have barely any experience with MIDI, especially not with picking good
sounds. But here’s a simple way of adding a temporary DrumVoice; the
approach may be unfamiliar but helpful.
I looked at Notation Reference section 13 and B.15 for percussion
reference, but obviously I just picked out the default handclap
percussion note which likely won’t do what you want. But maybe it
combines well with Guy’s suggestions regarding MIDI output.
HTH,
