OK, thanks. I will try it.

BTW: On the website page I saw the following example:

note_on = [0x99, 60, 112] # channel 10, middle C, velocity 112
note_off = [0x89, 60, 0]

[0x89, 60, 0] means a note_off message with a note_off velocity value of 
0. A (small) number of synths understands note_off velocity. You can 
describe it in physical terms as a key that is released extremely slowly. 
I have seen a synth (an old AKAI it was I think) that would react by a 
very slow envelope release of the sound after the key is released.

As an example it would be better to give the velocity a more 
sensible value:
note_off = [0x89, 60, 64]

Another method, used very often, is to use a note_on message with 
a velocity value = 0:
note_off = [0x99, 60, 0]
