Help with pos. External library function converting data into hex

Hello, I am programming my arduino micro (original) to send midi BLE data to my iPhone using keypad buttons. The code I have so far is working but when I add the sequencer library it won't work with my BLE code.

When I tell arduino to serial print the data its trying to send when the sequencer is running, the sequencer sends different values compared to the (working)buttons. I am guessing the external sequencer library functions is converting my data into hex but I don't know how to convert it back before putting into the BLE midi function?

Serial print says:

Sent Note On
0
38
144

^ This is the working button

PRESSED
Sent Note On
0
9
38

^ This is the sequenced data

Thanks for reading
