I think you should be able with [midiin].
Note that as per MIDI spec, 'note off' can be either an explicit 'note
off' message also containing a 'release velocity' value or (more common)
a note on with velocity equal to zero (for example this is how Pd does a
note on/off if you use the [makenote] object.
