I recommend using the MIDI input command-line options, not notnum or veloc. The command-line options place the MIDI key number and velocity number into specified pfields. You still need to use the MIDI opcodes (e.g. midictrl) for MIDI control change messages. 

--midi-key=N
    Route MIDI note on message key number to pfield N as MIDI value [0-127].
--midi-key-cps=N
    Route MIDI note on message key number to pfield N as cycles per second.
--midi-key-oct=N
    Route MIDI note on message key number to pfield N as linear octave.
--midi-key-pch=N
    Route MIDI note on message key number to pfield N as oct.pch (pitch class).
--midi-velocity=N
    Route MIDI note on message velocity number to pfield N as MIDI value [0-127].
--midi-velocity-amp=N
    Route MIDI note on message velocity number to pfield N as amplitude [0-0dbFS].

The reason for using the MIDI input command-line options instead of notnum etc. is that you can use the same instrument definitions with a regular Csound score, or for MIDI input, or even for both in the same performance. Such instrument definitions also work in CsoundVST.

Regards,
Mike
